[SOLVED] Failing to setup systemd-boot

Hello,

I am on a new Dell XPS 9305 which uses UEFI/GPT boot/partitioning. I am trying to configure systemd-boot to mount my partitions while booting. Because of UEFI booting, I have my efi directory mounting to /boot. In the /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf (I used the wiki default naming), I set my "options" to `options root="LABEL=arch" rw`. In the /boot/loader/loader.conf I specify to use the "arch.conf" configuration. While I am booting with my installation USB, and chroot into /mnt, running `ls -l /dev/disk/by-label` I confirm I have "arch -> ../../nvme0n1p3" which is the spot on disk where I have my root directory ("/" directory). However, when rebooting my laptop and taking out installation USB, I get "ERROR: device 'LABEL=arch' not found. skipping fsck".  I am not sure why this is happening - I know I have configured incorrectly, but I am not sure what. I have followed the rest of the arch wiki installation page.
