I make my tests on Archlinux and I use mkinitcpio[1] as initrd maker.
In my case root mount options are provided by refind and initrc stuff
read them from environment from the kernel and /proc/cmdline.

So if I remove fstab and I put something like :
linux root=UUID:42 rw rootflags=noatime

# mount -t btrfs
/dev/sda2 on / type btrfs (rw,noatime,nospace_cache)
