Device error on fresh installation. [SOLVED]

I just finished installing arch, however it stops midway through booting goes into emergency mode and throwing up the error:

[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/1203-62C1.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for /boot,
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File Systems.
[  TIME  ] Timed out waiting for /dev/disk/by-uuid/a4fdf7aa-de87-4ff2-a304-a21593400ef.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for /dev/disk/by-uuid/a4fdf7aa-de87-4ff2-a304-a21593400ef.
[DEPEND Dependency failed for Swaps.

I have no idea what is going on any help is much welcome.

partition map:
/dev/sda1 /boot
/dev/sda2 /home
/dev/sda3 swap
/dev/sda4 root

[SOLUTION]
I deleted the fstab configuration file and it somehow fixed it.

Re: Device error on fresh installation. [SOLVED]

post your fstab as well as the output of blkid.

here is what fstab is:
#<filesystem> <dir> <type>  <options> <dump> <pass>

# /dev/sda4
UUID-7f96c465-86d7-8f4c-9584884bcda7      /      ext4    e=rw,realtime      01

#/dev/sda1
UUID=1203-62CI     /boot   vfat     rw,reaktune,fmask=022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 02

#/dev/sda3
UUID=a4fdf7aa-de87-4ff2-a304-a215934300ef    none    swap    defaults    00

#/dev/sda4   /    ext4    rw,realtime    01

I manually typed out the uuids

Don't do that. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … n_services
Don't forget the blkid output.

Which could cause problems later. Since you're using a partition at /boot, make sure it's still being mounted.
