UEFI Boot Menu Distro Names

Greetings!

I have 2 separate installs of EOS on 2 separate drives in the same computer. Both are Cassini(?) with systemd boot, dracut, etc.

I knew how to change the names of the efi files so that I could have distinct entries in the UEFI boot menu when /boot had grub, etc. But I’m not certain how to do that for this new setup as things in /boot are different.

Could someone advise me on how to proceed as I cannot find this information? I keep forgetting which “LINUX …” is which!

Thanks!

If I remember correctly, you could do this in the conf files in /efi/loader/entries.

I’m glad you pointed me at that wiki article. It didn’t have the correct answer, but it made me look in this wiki article:

And that’s when I remembered using the:

That will do the trick. Thanks for help!
