I just wanted to confirm that this is a problem. I have mostly 64 and 128 GB cards but I'll rob a 32 from a camera if it might work.
I've tried it about 4 times and it always panics. Last time I was connected by ssh from another box and did a cat of the instructions then copied and pasted to make sure I had it exactly right. Same thing. I'm using CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Minimal-1602-RaspberryPi3.img.xz I tried taking a few pictures of the screen with a camera if it would be useful but it's probably not that hard to reproduce. So I went straight to the mailing list archives.
Also it's not recognizing the built-in wifi I think, but I haven't found it in dmesg. It doesn't show in ifconfig. In some other place I read something about the /root/README giving instructions on how to download firmware for it, but it's not in the README I've got.
I run a static wired LAN that's not connected to the internet. DHCP over wireless gets to a phone tether and that's the only way to the internet.
I've never tried Centos before, used to run Redhat sometimes about 12 years ago. Mostly I use OpenBSD on i386, on my Pi I've also tried Raspbian, FreeBSD, NetBSD.
For wifi, I confirm that the following image (http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/armhfp/CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Min...) has the /root/README file. It seems you're using a test image and not the one we released on mirror.centos.org If so, it would be better to use the one that was announced/released on the official mirror.
FWIW, the following part is what's needed on the Rpi3 (and in the /root/README file)
<quote> For wifi on the rpi3, just proceed with those steps :
curl --location https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/raw/54bab3d6a6d43239c71d26464...
/usr/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin

systemctl reboot
