[Solved] archiso - compiling kernel gives errors

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this:

I want to create my own arch live cd using archiso. Using http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso I get to the final step - make all. While compiling the kernel I get these errors:

# make all
mkarchiso -p "`cat packages.list` grub-gfx" create "work"
mkarchiso : Configuration Settings
        working directory:   work
               image name:   none
====> Creating working directory: work
====> Installing packages to 'work/root-image/'
Cleaning up what we can
mv "work/root-image/boot" "work/iso/"
cp -r boot-files/* "work/iso/boot/"
cp isomounts "work"
sed -i "s|@ARCH@|`uname -m`|g" "work/isomounts"
mkinitcpio -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -b "work/root-image" -k 2.6.29-ARCH -g "work/iso/boot/my-arch".img

It creates the iso, no problems...

When I try to boot it I get another error:

:: Loading keymap...done.
Waiting 10 seconds for device ...

Root device '' doesn't exist, attempting to create it
ERROR: Failed to parse block device ids for ''
ERROR: Unable to detect or create root device ''
You are being dropped to a recovery shell

And I'm dropped to the shell. I'm suspecting /etc/fstab is the problem. Here's how it looks like:

aufs                   /             aufs      noauto              0      0
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0
/dev/cdrom             /bootcd       iso9660   ro,user,noauto      0      0

Has anyone tried this wiki article? What should I do?
