fail to load file system at startup

I installed arch on my laptop with a local repo from an external 16 usb stick (that I also use for booting arch).

Everything went fine except that I need to plug in the usb drive for the system to load unless I have the message " fail to load system file, fail to find the "blaaaslaalsd" (usb drive) loading at root"

The only thing that I did with the usb drive is to mount it the my local repo (file:///mnt/repo/*) mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/repo

Did something went wrong during the installation?? The usb drive is entire gone, impossible to load in whitout it... ? Really appreciate the help...

Re: fail to load file system at startup

I have the message " fail to load system file, fail to find the "blaaaslaalsd" (usb drive) loading at root"

I'm quite sure that's not what it said.

As a wild guess, if the usb was mounted in the chroot when you run genfstab it would have been added to /etc/fstab and would need to be removed.
