During initial setup, I'd like to avoid the manual actions of logging on as root and executing a command, but instead have that command run without intervention.  The output of the command would still show up on the terminal that initiated the reboot.


Having read this thread, I still can't tell *when* you want a script to run.  If you want it to run during the initial install, then I can't make any sense of how that relates to a reboot.

If you want to run a command during the setup, then provide a kickstart file with a %post section:
https://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart-docs.html#chapter-6-post-installation-script

If you want to run a command after rebooting and display the command output on the console, then use the openvt command, possibly with the -w flag:
https://linux.die.net/man/1/openvt


Security is not a concern here.  And I don't want to invoke high-powered functions like "jumpstart".


If you mean kickstart: I'm pretty sure that's your only option for running commands during the installation.
