After imaging some machines, I noticed that each one shows the internal HD as "EFI Boot" when holding down the option key at boot. If I select it, it boots normally. Inside the Lion OS, it correctly shows it named as Macintosh HD. Why is it showing up as "EFI Boot" at the bootloader?
I then went into system preferences and then startup disk and selected Macintosh HD (the only drive listed) and restarted. After restart I held down the option key and when the bootloader comes up it is named "Macintosh HD" which is correct. I tried script it to set startup disk to see if I could do this via script, but it didn't work. It would reboot and come back up fine, but the name of the HD in the bootloader was still "EFI Boot". Here is the script that I tried running that didn't reset the name.
sudo bless -mount "/Volumes/Macintosh HD" -setBoot
This seems to only be cosmetic, but just trying to figure it out.
Thanks

When I option boot all of mine have the Compiled Lion Image name not Macintosh HD. Its annoying but looks to be cosmetic.
