Using livemedia creator and a kickstart that does no have a root password set or additional user I get the following error.
There should be a way to bypass this and continue the install. ovirt-node which is created from the kickstart I'm trying to use has a firstboot type setup to perform the installation and set passwords. The root account is locked and does not have a password until set after the installation.
anaconda 19.30.13-1 for anaconda bluesky (pre-release) started.

Remove the 'cmdline' command from the kickstart file and try it again. It should allow you to enter the root password.
