This can be a problem if the graphical interface doesn't work on the

Since the first account will always be an administrator, you can log
in to that account and use sudo -i to get a root prompt (after first
boot).
Sure, but I'm referring to that first boot here.
Sorry, you are correct. If the first boot does not work, then you will
indeed be out of luck. You would need to reinstall, manually enabling
the root password spoke in the configuration file before starting the
Anaconda.
Of course, the first boot is not expected to fail, and if it does, few
users will have any chance of recovery. I would just give up at that
point. If you wind up debugging such a problem, I presume installing
again with root enabled will be a mild inconvenience relative to the
inconvenience of Fedora being broken.
