That's boot0. You can modify the labels that are printed by editing the source code of /boot/boot0 in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot0/boot0.s and adding your own labels. This is not a trivial thing to do though, and you should definitely get acquainted with booting from another medium (like, an installation CDROM) and save backup copies of your partition tables, before messing around with boot0. Look near lines 359-400 in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot0/boot0.s for the place where the valid partition types and their labels are defined: 359 tables: 360 # 361 # These entries identify invalid or NON BOOT types and partitions. 362 # ... 386 # 387 # And here are the strings themselves. 0x80 or'd into a byte indica= tes 388 # the end of the string.
