[Solved ] Configuring rEFInd/device not found/new root no fs specified

Drops me into emergency shell 'rootfs'#

I can mount to my root partition using

 mount /Dev/sda3 new_root
Exit

and this loads arch linux perfectly.

I've tried modifying my rEFInd conf file but it seemed to have the sda3 partuuid already produced using the mkrlconf command.

Looking at my fstab leads me to believe Im partitioned incorrectly.  At this point I only have shell prompt on my laptop so I can't post the output of my fstab file at the moment.

But I have 6 partitions

 sda1 is boot in fat32
Sda2 is swap space
Sda3 is my mount partition for arch
Sda4-5 are left empty for different distros
Sda6 is all leftover disk space for home partition

All partitions 3-6 are ext4.

Although my fstab only shows sda1 and sda3?  I fear that maybe I haven't generated the fstab file correctly.  Please uncloud my foolishness!  Thank you in advance.
