Systemd is capable of automatically mounting various partitions to standardized location via systemd-gpt-auto-generator. This makes it possible to boot and automatically mount essential partitions without an fstab and without a root= paramter on the kernel command line. To use this capability, first systemd must be included in the initramfs, this is the case by default for initramfs images generated with Dracut on systems with systemd installed. And second, each partition must have the correct Partition Type GUID. A list of the most important GUIDs can be found in the systemd-gpt-auto-generator manual, the full list can be found on wikipedia.
