I see. I am little bit surprised to hear that, I have heard third hand that Anaconda does have problems. Anyway, after several tries and a number of crashes by Anaconda, I was able to complete the installation of the minimum installation version of RL 9.1.

With that said, and bearing in mind that my background is CentOS 6 and 7, I expected that even the minimum installation version of RL 9.1 would present me with a neat grub2 screen allowing me to choose between the installed kernel and a recovery version before proceeding. Instead I see all boot messages scrolling by and the prompt to enter the LUKS password thrown into this also scrolling on the screen...

I surmise that the RL 9.1 installation process is different from CentOS 6 and 7 but is there something I can change to get to the more user-friendly "CentOS-like" kernel prompt screen, ie grub2 screen?

Starting with RHEL 9.1 (therefore Rocky Linux 9.1), the grub menu is now hidden by default if there are no other OSs installed. You can change this behavio(u)r by running:

# grub2-editenv - unset menu_auto_hide
