Thanks Rahul!  It looks that the thing is seriously buggy.  Indeed
after I followed your advice a system is up in that sense that, for
example, I can log on over a network.  'boot.log' ends up with:
....
Starting Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology (SMART) Daemon...
Starting Starts/stop the "at" daemon...
Starting smartd: Starting atd: [  OK  ]
[  OK  ]
[  OK  ]

and that is it.  No further progress and no local login of any kind;
either graphic or console.  Quite possible that this is an issue
identified in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=618315#c3
I do not see any tty programs running.  If this is the case that
would make the last sentence in that comment rather false.  At this
moment I have to do other things so trying to figure that out have
to be delayed for better times.

I wonder what if I have a system which boots only to a text console
(I do have such things but they do not run rawhide).  It seems that
'graphical.target' as a 'default.target' would be not something to
be used.  In any case a number of services in a systemd sequence
ended up as "failed".  OTOH these could be, for example, something
like "Starting Initialize SCSI tape drives with /sbin/stinit".  Who,
on earth, asked for it?
