It is a runlevel, you can read a bit about OpenRC runlevel on alpine wiki (I hope it applies for Artix as well)

But I don't understand that.  Doesn't the dev system need to be UP in order to reach "boot"  whitch is a different run level?

Grub is part of uefi and it reads the kernel and then doesn't it mount the root file system?  So dev must be up and running? on boot
