I think most of your answers are found in this document.
If you need more help, you need to describe what profile you have
installed, the system you are installing it on (server, workstation,
laptop, vmware), and preferable what you intend to use it for (just
so we know what you are looking for).
The messages you see is the login prompt you will see if you install
the «server» profile only. Then you don't install the X-server and
you don't have a graphical user interface. For installing the
X-server you need to add the «workstation» or «thin client server»
profile as well.
But is that what he is supposed to on a server in production, or is this
advice only provided for testing purposes?
I think the question/anwer above illustrates that the server needs a
welcome message. Something along the line of...
"If you just installed this system, you should type 'root' after
the login prompt, and then press Enter."
Pressing F1 should ideally give a help page, even if the user has
not logged in.
Maybe installing X but not starting it by default could be worthwhile.
If the user chooses "Intro" from the F1 menu, X can be started to lead
the user on a tour. Just a suggestion ...
