Arch Linux OS X Boot Menu Label

Hi guys,

I am pretty new to Linux. I just finished installing Arch Linux on my macbook pro. I followed the instructions on the wiki and now I'm able to boot into Arch Linux by selecting the "EFI Boot" option from the menu after holding down the alt key on startup. Everything is working pretty smoothly so far but I was wondering if its possible to change the label of the Arch Linux option in the menu from "EFI Boot" to "Arch Linux". On the manpage for bless it says the following:

     --label name             Render a text label used in the firmware-based OS picker

I tried using the following commands to bless the boot partition, but they have no effect on the label.

$ sudo bless --folder="Arch Linux" --file="Arch Linux/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi" --label=ArchLinux
$ sudo bless --mount="Arch Linux" --file="Arch Linux/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi" --label=ArchLinux

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Ahmed
