Re: btrfs and /boot...
I don't understand what are you asking about, can you rephrase your question?
Are you asking whether /boot can be formatted as btrfs?

Re: btrfs and /boot...
you won't need any extra boot partition formatted in btrfs except you want to enable the compression flag or you do a full system encryption.

Re: btrfs and /boot...
well...seems arch is against me!:
ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201112' device did not show up after 30 seconds
falling back to interactive prompt
you can try to fix the problem manually
log out when you are finished
sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
usb with LILI,201112,what else need to know people?

Re: btrfs and /boot...
Set a filesystem label that match "archisolabel=" where you copy "arch" directory.

Re: btrfs and /boot...
hmm ... this thread is going nowhere unless you provide more information what you want to do or what you have done that those errors appear.
