It sounds as if it's not a live USB.  Is there a live CD or USB for CentOS
7 yet? 
As for it dropping you to a root prompt, not sure what's 
goin on there.  For me, when I used the netinstall, after various and
sundry things, it opens to an Anaconda (the GUI installer) window and
begins to install (after waiting for various input from me.)

If there is less than a certain amount of memory, it will then go through
the crippled text install which doesn't allow you to do any customization
unless you've set up a kickstart file.

So, if it's just dropping to a root prompt and not doing very much,
something might be broken. 

However, a description, even if brief, of the "things it's doing" might be
useful.
