I'm wondering if there is a way to change the name of the entry in my disk.
I've two macOs entries:
1.- Boot macOs from macOs
2.- Boot macOs
only the 1 works, and I would like to be able to delete one and change the name. The desired result is to boot with number 2 and remove number 1. Also desirable to change the name of macOs to Sierra or "SSD Sierra" for example.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Renaming entries is trickier. You have some control in the form of the name of the boot volume, which you can edit in most OSes. (rEFInd uses a filesystem label or, if that's not present, the GPT partition label. If neither is found, rEFInd uses a description, like "200 GiB ext4 volume.")
If you don't want to change the volume label or if you want to do more than this, your only option is to create a manual boot stanza:
This is both a pain and tricky; a small error in the specification (like a typo) can cause the entry to fail to work, typically with a "file not found" error. IMHO, it's not worth the bother just to change the name shown in the menu; but of course you might disagree.

You can remove redundant, non-functional, or otherwise undesired entries in several ways, as described in the documentation:
