[fedora-arm] Logging in after an install

I put it aside for a few months, but I picked up my attempt to get Fedora up
and running on a PI 3B.

I used arm-image-installer to install the F32 image I prepared:

fedora-arm-image-installer --image=Fedora-Workstation-32-1.6.aarch64.raw.xz
--media=/dev/sdc --target=rpi3 --resizefs --norootpass

The PI boots up until the message, this is the last message that appears on
the console:

fb0: switching to vc4drmfb from EFI VGA

No more messages appear, no console login.

But there is apparently a new DHCP assignment on my network. However ssh-ing
to that IP address prompts for the root password, and it does not accept an
empty password.

I suppose I could pull the SD card out, mount it, and copy over an ssh into
/root, but what exactly did --norootpass do, and what about not being able
to log in through the console? I didn't have a keyboard attached yet, I
would think I'd get at least a prompt.
