Don't think a pi or linux in general  ever does ask questions on the
console before booting. Only potentially the boot loader, and that on a
Pi doesn't as far as I know.

I cant answer for fedora though. I used raspbian server as its better
documented., Cant see the point of fedora, The Pi Zero W server after
editing the card off the pi in a reader came up on the right IP adress,
found the network and connected, and set up sshd. First time!

I think that on raspbian at least an empty file called ssh in /boot
directory is enough. (that's the DOS FAT partition )

The guys thought of this when they ported linux to the Pi!
