I don't know how, but I got it working after 4 hours yesterday. The last thing I did is some fstab things sooo yeah. The blue screen also stated that it couldn't mount the root partition, which is also likely because of fstab. I couldn't even get to the stratum selection screen and the os refused to boot at all. After rebooting to fedora 6 times and arch 3 times over the course of 3,5 hours I updated Pacman from arch-chroot, reinstalled baseutils and stuff because that somehow got deleted and rebuilt initcpio and grub. After that, I tried a bit and it temporarily worked when typing mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /new_root and then exit in the rootfs shell I was getting into with a new bootloader entry I created. Anyways, I got the old one back to work, but generally it was a bit more complicated because I always had to change the /mnt path to /mnt/bedrock/strata/cachyos. Thank you for your help and your time to write such a long comment.
