Fixes #790.

@veteranporter can you take a look? Is this ok, would you like to add or change anything?

Adding my comments here, as a follow-up of the duplicate issue #798.

Given that the root password is disabled by default, a remark would be welcome, mentioning that the same steps also apply for any non-root user (both wheel and non-wheel). The difference would only be in the command passwd <user-name> instead of passwd.
The same effect of autorelabeling is obtained with the boot parameter autorelabel=1, which would replace both the touch /.autorelabel command at the bash prompt, as well as the enforcing=0 boot parameter.
