Description of problem:
Console output/installed is mangled with systemd output, I suppose this is caused by removal of 'quiet' from kernel args while booting. I always remove 'quiet' as one can see many interesting "failures" and errors and just see a progress, not just useless blank screen. And we are QA so we want to see failures and errors :)

I used following pxe configuration...

~~~
LABEL rhevh-7.0-20140827.0.el7ev
MENU LABEL ^interactive - rhevh-7.0-20140827.0.el7ev
        KERNEL images/RHEVH/rhevh-7.0-20140827.0.el7ev/vmlinuz0
        APPEND rootflags=loop initrd=images/RHEVH/rhevh-7.0-20140827.0.el7ev/initrd0.img root=live:/rhevh-7.0-20140827.0.el7ev.iso rootfstype=auto ro rd.live.image rd.live.check rd.lvm=0 rd_NO_MULTIPATH rootflags=ro crashkernel=128M elevator=deadline install max_loop=256 rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 firstboot
~~~

IIRC it differences from default with:

- removal of 'quiet'
- added 'firstboot'

See screenshots for evidences.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhevh-7.0-20140827.0.el7e

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use my pxe settings (or just don't have 'quiet' as kernel arg while booting?)
2. see installer and do install
3.

Actual results:
console is mangled with systemd output

Expected results:
nothing should messed up installer

Removing the quite keyword is expected (and intended) to clutter the screen with additional boot messages.

We could probably reduce the risk by putting the installer at the end of the boot process, but that means that the installer will take longer to come up.

Closing this as WONTFIX, please reopen if you think that it should really be fixed.
