I'm dual booting OS X (Lion) and Arch Linux, and when I hold down "option" during the boot process, I am presented with both of my startup disk options (i.e., OS X and Linux); however, they are named "IluvatarHD" and "Windows". DoneDoes anybody know of a way to rename the "Windows" option to something more accurate.

I assume this is on the Mac OS X side as nowhere on my Arch install is the label "Windows" applied.

In an ideal world, I would be able to change the disk icon as well...

NOTE: I've uninstalled refit as it's unnecessary once Arch has been installed and would rather keep using the Apple boot loader.

Any help would be appreciated!
