[CoLoCo] Renaming a volume

[John Edwards]

The Mac in question doesn't boot.  The intent here is to boot from the
installation DVD and open the terminal and then run the script from the USB
drive.

I don't know enough about Mac's to do any more than follow the instructions
I've been given.  I thought perhaps of modifying the script, but it looks
terribly complicated and I'm afraid I'll mess it up. :/
