Thanks.
My old-grub stanza:
title chainload to sda
kernel (hd1,1)/grub2/core.img
As I didn't expect it to work, I only installed the minimal version.
There are a few things that concern me.
When I tried to login as hennebry,
my password showed on the console.
Probably a plymouth issue.
Also, I could not login as hennebry.
From catting passwd, there are no ordinary users at all.
Whether I was allowed to specify an ordinary user, I do not recall.
You wouldn't, with a minimal install. User creation is done by firstboot
in a graphical install. In a minimal install, there is no firstboot any
more (since F16 IIRC); when there was, the tool it ran didn't handle
user creation. So when you do a minimal install, you have to log in as
root and do user creation yourself.
None is listed in the generated kickstart file.
When using cntrl-alt-Fx to switch consoles,
I could not get back to my original.
When I got around to trying root, I was allowed to login.
Also, which of the following should concern me:
[root@localhost root]# grep -v Installing install.log
warning: setup-2.8.36-2.fc16.noarch: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID a82ba4b7:

I wouldn't be hugely worried about any of them. Try doing a full install
and I suspect a lot of the above 'weirdness' would go away.
