Abstract
A system includes a device, a BIOS, and a processor. The BIOS includes a storage operable to store predefined identifier/user defined name pairs. The processor is operable to, detect the device, determine a predefined identifier for the device, and access the storage to locate a predefined identifier/user defined name pair corresponding to the predefined identifier. The processor is further operable to provide a user defined name of the predefined identifier/user defined name pair when the predefined identifier/user defined name pair is present, and provide the predefined identifier of the predefined identifier/user defined name pair when the predefined identifier/user defined name pair is not present.
