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.
Ooops, no, I only have 64 and 128 micro cards, my 32 is a full size dinosaur.
I'm having the sd Card size issue consistently. However, I read on the release notes "Info" link on the altarch page that there is some magic you have to do to get the Wifi running - specifically a firmware update... I didn't get there yet as I'm working on a cluster of Pi2's and only have a couple of 3's I'm experimenting with...

WRT the resize of the root partition .. it is very simple to just resize it when you write it to the sd card with fdisk as soon as you are done on the machine where it is already mounted.
(I also has a problem with a 64GB SD Card and that is what I did to extend the partition .. just delete it and recreate it using the defaults)

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
curl --location https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/raw/54bab3d6a6d43239c71d26464...
/usr/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt
systemctl reboot
