My gut tells me the SELinux re-label either never finishedor never started. The 4 lines that I put into my most recent post came up in under 2 minutes after the grub menu disappeared, and I never saw any hint of output from a SELinux relabelling. So when I try what Ed and Joe suggest, should I also add "selinux=0" to the linux line? And how long should I wait before assuming something is stuck in a loop, frozen, etc. and do a hard reset?
No, don't disable selinux in this case.
Just boot the system, edit the linux line to add 3 and continue. This will get you to a text mode login prompt and gdm would not have been started.
I suspect when login and type
sudo systemctl start display-manager
you will get an error and then can more info from
systemctl status display-manager or looking at journal entries.
