So the install worked with the above but the boot hung
with systemd complaining it couldn't find /run.
The system booted fully after a quick workaround using:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=922988#c27

Now I see the display has blanked can't be restored:
So looks like one needs to immediately:
  settings -> privacy -> screen lock -> off
  settings -> power -> screen blank -> never

(Note pressing esc doesn't work for me)
