I eventually poked around inside the shell that rEFInd was dropping me into. I found that I needed to specify root=/dev/sda8 in buildconfig (which seems to be a copy of mkinitcpio.conf), and that UUIDs will not work here. I also found that I could mount /dev/sda8 as /new_root. It would still drop me back out to a shell once more, but then begin to boot normally. Only, NetworkManager.service, dbus.service, and gdm.service (at least) failed. It then hung trying to initialize the pacman keyring. I'm treating it as a botched install. I'm going to try again after the end of semester rush. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRbxOyAAoJELJhbl/uPb4SJ6sP/1efLBPbfVL1Xte4dzGX5ANO ddwp8u0pHcU2svXAa5AC9nxHZiE7FaxgrJY7Qy1WD1nVtBEXjlAxVmbUzlfnaPXn 9f58g7cO8Gm86FXpRf7y37x6jP5cCk7IEAc1EkAlwfvFGWZZsoWK8wAgLDy943oK IPXyOwiGZpF6XDTPI6CBW6YTKeTDZCEYXgskQqclYoj6bL+5b4lSl/BZX4o3LdlT vPWXg9OehE22uK5w47qbf5k251Vs67sKA1XwHv9O2dPCJVW4K3HR2Rd4moH7jQcn gQDfY0mIpo3lhCyLiec0f88X8Hpa+iVMnNVfWybXFkbmln1XpdnNtYdBtV0dKpxT 6SHWcX+zzxoP/5aF12AMJDQD50Cs2nbdBgD0uwRbL1QEkTta6aj7QEt14A6OrJfh 9UCyTj2aXXaU0Hju/vWQmCJl83kmhTVWeFKSgY1z+5X/c/hif0vXvZ28g0BN+S6Q R/mzU/vC2EKF76cUc16xELLaJG9na7KQ6v0Nr9Ri/vs+CP7Kae9NVsC3nhy8lLuW XtwuU6O7ENN9oRcWwxkl1WjxZF4HRb9KwrcS17tvHXYXm6AH6gYxVffGE78XvnEA MD9LwHWxxO5AkDYMQlWTARfIzLO9l542Ta6nHk4Y5PawNTPmyPsWUaFMFDx3I6qS vL8cDcwuQ4C/rhNuLuUo =GDgG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
