What a bootloader that can't automatically update the disk name after renaming it!?

Let's type :

 

sudo bless --folder . --label "Macintosh HD"   (Note “Macintosh HD” will be the name that will be displayed in the GUI at boot, so you can change it to “Sonoma” or whatever you prefer)

Why do you need this?

[Anto65]

@verdazil 

 If you have installed and named the disk macOS Sequoia try renaming it from Finder / Disk Utility to Macintosh HD
Restart and see the name it shows you in the gui

😄 It's the same as editing it by hand, just faster and simpler,as mentioned before

@LockDown

 

A slightly different approach by @Anto65 (iirc).

 

In Terminal (booting the disk to be renamed):

• diskutil info / | grep "APFS Volume Group"
• you get a long string with letters and numbers (e.g. 654436D1-8026-4D83-81DA-942C2FE63961)
• cd /System/Volumes/Preboot/654436D1-8026-4D83-81DA-942C2FE63961/System/Library/CoreServices/
• sudo bless --folder . --label "NOMBRE" (where NOMBRE is the name you want to be applied).

To check, in Terminal, one of these commands:

• cd /System/Volumes/Preboot/654436D1-8026-4D83-81DA-942C2FE63961/System/Library/CoreServices/
• pico .disk_label.contentDetails

or

• printf "NOMBRE" | sudo tee .disk_label.contentDetails; echo sudo chgrp wheel .disk*

@miliuco  help me remember, from the terminal it seems to me that there is no need to disable SIP, right?

[LockDown]

Il use bless on my next install, much easier.

Thanks @miliuco & @Anto65 👍

[Anto65]

In the next installation when you initialize the disk, give it the name you want already... this way you avoid having to work on it later 😆

Not sure but I guess so, no need.

[Anto65]

There is a need, Sip must be disabled

With Sip disabled

Hi guys, nice shot from @miliuco as always. 

 

Please allow me, if you wish to use Clover Configurator, I learned that it is very easy to rename or name the bootloader to whatever name you want, regardless of the name of the HD/SSD. 

Just press F2 at boot and look for and open the log file in the EFI misc folder, the line that contains the end \System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi

Just open a new tab in the GUI Menu, and add the Preboot of your volume, as shown in the screenshot, and the entire boot volume line.

[miliuco]

Dear @Max.1974 I don't know if the method you posted (Clover Configurator) is really easier than the previous one 🙂

[Max.1974]

@miliuco  Hello my noble friend, the commands are certainly easier, but this method that I posted has the ease of being able to rename several, including Windows too.

 

Thank you my friend, God bless you! You can choose one of them, and enjoy it.

Macschrauber's Preboot fixer and renamer.app can do renaming of disk labels (text and bitmaps)

@miliuco @Anto65

One last concern regarding Volume Name...

Is there a way to rename Macintosh - Data in terminal, or only in diskutil?

[miliuco]

@LockDown

This volume must have the same name as system volume adding " - Data". E.g. Macintosh - Data volume must match Macintosh volume.

[LockDown]

@miliuco yeah, im aware of that.

But is there a way to rename it in terminal or no?

[miliuco]

@LockDown

We are talking about 2 different things:

• macOS - Data disk name in Finder - can be changed from Disk Utility when you booted from this macOS. I suppose it can also be renamed from Terminal. "sudo diskutil rename / NAME" -> renames the system disk but not the DATA disk.
• macOS disk name in OpenCore picker - requires one of the Terminal methods or updating the Preboot volume after changing the disk name in Disk Utility. When you change the name on the Preboot volume, it changes both system and Data volume.

Hi everyone, happy new year💥

Inquiry about naming of SSDT.aml...

 

Most of my computers has its own SSDT aml file. Can I rename the AML file with a model name of my motherboard?

 

e.g: SSDT-HPET-B460M.aml?

 

Can it also be inverted like, B460M-SSDT-HPET.aml?

 

[verdazil]

@LockDown, You can give your tables any name. It is only important that they are correctly described in the configuration file (name and loading order)

You wrote it as if you had only one table - SSDT.aml. This can work too, but it's better to keep things modular. Several tables, each with its own function. This makes it easier to find and fix errors and make changes.

[LockDown]

Hi @verdazil was just an example.

I have a few SSDT AML per computer.

Each has its own table & function.

It just confuses me sometimes which of it is for a specific computer, so i need to add the board name on the AML files

 

Thanks mate for the confirmation 🙂
