For gummiboot I use title Arch Linux linux /vmlinuz-linux initrd /initramfs-linux.img options root=PARTUUID="986178da-85b0-4a7c-a0ec-600adfa32be7" and it works well. My fstab uses UUID though because I generate it with genfstab -U; but for mounting slash only the linux kernel options should matter at the initrd stage; up to the normal boot where slash will be remounted by systemd-remount-fs if it is in the fstab.
