Using the netinstall's isolinux/ vmlinuz,initrd and pxelinux.cfg file,
the machine (physical but also VMs on my laptop) start with:

[ OK ] Started Show Plymouth Boot Screen.
[ OK ] Reached target Paths.
[ OK ] Reached target Basic System.

It then waits a _long_ time and I see:

[  <timestamp>] dracut-initqueue[pid]: Warning: Could not boot.
[ OK ] Strated Show Plymouth Boot Screen.
[ OK ] Reached target Paths.
[ OK ] Reacdhed target Basic System.
[  <timestamp>] dracut-initqueue[pid]: Warning: Could not boot.
[  <timestamp>] dracut-initqueue[pid]: Warning: /dev/root does not exit

and then falls into a dracut shell

Looking at the report it boots a lot of things, then throws:

systemd: Failed to add job sys-kernel-config.mount/start, ignoring: Invalid argument.
systemd: Reloading.
