As far as I understood, the names displayed are generic ones. In
order to change them or even made to fit them to a particular OS
version on a different slice / disk, modifying the bootloader's
source is neccessary (followed by recompilation and reinstall).

Other bootloaders may have an easier option to change the displayed
names.
