Description
> I think we probably are going to need to scope creep this tool slightly into supporting non-cloud flows; I've seen people doing that already with `to-existing-root` - basically the scenario here is:
>
> - Install Fedora Server (or whatever), have a physical console
> - Want to replace it w/bootc image
>
> In this flow we'd need to support a root password, not ssh keys. One general purpose option here would be to support running `systemd-firstboot`. Or of course, we could just try to automatically scrape a root password in addition too.
>
> I kind of like that latter one as an expedient option - in clouds we typically won't have a root password so it'd be a no-op.
