Yup. I eventually poked around inside the shell that rEFInd was
dropping me into. I found that I needed to specify root=/dev/sda8 in
buildconfig (which seems to be a copy of mkinitcpio.conf), and that
UUIDs will not work here. I also found that I could mount /dev/sda8 as
/new_root.

It would still drop me back out to a shell once more, but then begin
to boot normally.

Only, NetworkManager.service, dbus.service, and gdm.service (at least)
failed. It then hung trying to initialize the pacman keyring.

I'm treating it as a botched install. I'm going to try again after the
end of semester rush.
