Hi, I have updated systemd to 211-1 and mkinitcpio to 17-1 and this still
happens.
mkinitcpio hooks: HOOKS="base systemd btrfs autodetect modconf block keyboard
sd-vconsole resume filesystems"

Also, here is some more information:
This bug will happen to any non-dev device garbage root value and to not having
a root value set.
During the boot process, if your root value is a /dev device that is not
available (in this case, because it doesn't exist) systemd will wait 1min30s
for it and, after time outing, you will get immediately to emergency mode.
However, if it not, then systemd may or may not take a long time to enter
emergency mode, if it ever get to it.

IMO, you should be dropped immediately to the emergency mode after systemd
notices it can't mount $root because it is invalid. I'm considering it a minor
bug, but you may consider it a feature request or enhancement.
