Being able to assign a different name at opencore GUI startup

Printing a name other than the one placed on the hard drive.

I have several systems mounted as seen in the photo, including some with a USB SSD adapter, but the name I have recently given it is the hard drive.

I don't know if it would be interesting or if it already exists to change the name of the hard drive to whatever we want, such as macOS 15 Sequoia or macOS 15 Sequoia beta.

It is possible to assign a different name to the hard drive where we start our boots.

In my case, the name is related to the type of hard drive, which can be seen in the photo. But it might be possible to assign a name like macOS 15 Sequoia or macOS 15 Sequoia beta

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*
