Adding new HDDs to a UKI system

Hello, everyone! So, i have an arch linux UKI system. I want to add some new hard drives to my setup. My question is how i can add the permanent mounting points for those drives? On a usual installation i did it using the fstab file, but on UKI installation the file is empty. I tried googling, but found no actual solution.

On a usual installation i did it using the fstab file, but on UKI installation the file is empty.

systemd tries to avoid using fstab (partially because they need to know things before /etc is available) .

Just add one of the drives to fstab and run mount -a to verify fstab is still used.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
