Well I have a few things perhaps of interest.

I have problems with the firstboot setup and root password.  I am using the
installer script and the --norootpass option.  When I am prompted at the
setup, I ignore the setting of the root password. Fortunately I also did not
set my user password and made my user have admin priv.  Because when I got to
login, it wanted a password for root and I could not figure out what.  In the
past I would just provide 'root' for the login and I was good.  So I logged in
with my user and did a 'sudo passwd root' to set the root password to what I
wanted.
I have to assume systemd is starting something like:

	/bin/bash -i

rather than the former (and familiar) root shell without
login authentication.  The same behaviour may be done under
older initscripts

And put this in /etc/inittab if you want the behavior where it
is not prompted:

1:2345:respawn:/bin/bash -i



Robert -- could you check your system and see, and advise the
list of the results of your examination?

Help me a little here. Do I build a SD card, mount it and look in /etc/inittab? Or do I log in with my user account and see what it has set for root? The install script does:

# Remove root password
if [ "$NOROOTPASS" = "1" ] ; then
            echo "= Removing the root password."
            sudo sed -i 's/root:x:/root::/' /tmp/root/etc/passwd
fi

But what does the firstboot setup do that overrides this?
