On persistent disk images (qcow2/raw), useradd fails on the second boot because the user persists from the first boot. This causes rd-init to exit before configuring networking, which blocks systemd-networkd, lima-init, and sshd from starting. Check whether the user exists before calling useradd. The rest of the setup (authorized_keys, sudoers) still runs on every boot. Signed-off-by: Jan Dubois <jan.dubois@suse.com>
