      Guys, how can I change the partition names?

      On NanoBSD, at boot I get a menu:

      F1 pfSense
      F2 pfSense
      
      F6 PXE
      

      I'd like to have here something different in my special-purpose appliance, like

      F1 myAppli
      F2 myAppli
      
      F6 PXE
      

      As far as I understood, these are partition (=slice?) names. How can I change these, what command to use?

      I see the same menu on full install too, but only one item (F1) is present, but slice name is the same.

        That name requires a patch to the boot loader, it cannot be changed unless you compile the images yourself.

          Can't I change it in the disk image files themselves? Egy by mounting in a virtual machine?

              I want to compile the images.  Which files should be changed?
