[SOLVED]Booting into Arch after installation.

Question

Good evening,
after getting a new harddrive (SSD) I've decidet to do a fresh install of Arch (it was already installed on the HDD I've used before).
The only difference made while installing is that I'm using a GPT-table and that I've configured grub for EFI.
After selecting Arch linux from the Grub menue I've get the message that there is a startup job running for sdb1, sdb2 and sdb3.
My Partition table:
gdisk -l /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.8
Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present
Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Disk /dev/sda: 246162672 sectors, 117.4 GiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 6C1A58C8-7F1C-4E26-BD81-AB4BFB99F930
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 246162638
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 2831 sectors (1.4 MiB)
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
1 2048 4196351 2.0 GiB EF00 Boot
2 4196352 239871182 112.4 GiB 8300 System
3 239872000 246162638 3.0 GiB 8200 Swap

I'm a bit confused because in one point of the wiki it says that the efi partition is the /boot partition and on another it says that it only has to be about 1M big (but a kernel is a lot bigger (especially because I want to create some custom kernel's)).
I'm sorry if someone already asked something similar but I didnt find anything.
Thank's for the support in advance ^^.

Let me guess my UUID's don't match?
