1) selinux=0 worked; booted up into my backup f12, looks good.
2) next tried rebooting with enforcing=0
This was more difficult; the boot process got into relabeling
wtth a warning it would take long time.
I walked away from the screen maybe 20minutes into the relabeling
and when I got back (maybe at 30min time),
it had rebooted on its own, but into my main f12.
Rebooted yet again into the "enforcing=0" stanza of my backup f12,
and it came up this time into my backup f12,
with no further relabeling message,
so all looks ok here too.
This was a good learning exerience.
But I must say I am still mostly ignorant of what SELinux is doing,
why I needed either selinux=0, enforcing=0, in the first place, and
in particular the "what/why/how" of this relabeling business.
I have spent some time, not a lot, on googling SELinux, relabeling,
and I am getting lost in the detail.
thanks for showing me the ropes re selinux=0, enforcing=0
