[Solved] rEFInd warning

Hello. I installed Arch Linux on my laptop and GRUB bootloader. After installation I changed my mind and installed rEFInd. But when I select Arch Linux in rEFInd menu, during booting it shows warning "The root device is not configured to be mounted read-write! It may be fsckd again later." (here is photo)  When booting via Grub, this warning is not there. How to fix it? Thanks

Re: [Solved] rEFInd warning

Edit the kernel command line in /boot/refind_linux.conf and add rw in front of the root declaration.

ewaller@turing/home/ewaller % cat /boot/refind_linux.conf
"Boot with standard options"        "rw root=UUID=b395c435-49e5-411a-ab9c-196da7c8262c initrd=/intel-ucode.img initrd=/initramfs-linux.img acpi_backlight=native"
"Boot to single-user mode"          "rw root=UUID=b395c435-49e5-411a-ab9c-196da7c8262c single initrd=/intel-ucode.img initrd=/initramfs-linux.img acpi_backlight=native"
"Boot with minimal options"         "rw root=UUID=b395c435-49e5-411a-ab9c-196da7c8262c initrd=/intel-ucode.img initrd=/initramfs-linux.img"
