My gut tells me the SELinux re-label either never finishedor never

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.
(sigh) I had to remember all those log-in names! :(
It took some time to get rid of distractions. I did get in. I had to
edit the .bash_profile in the user, admin, and root accounts to comment
out xeyes.
I did a few tests. In all cases, the workstation ends up "frozen" but
it sounds like a fan in the tower is surging, and I must do a hard shutdown.
