Ok, this is a minor problem, but it is bothering me.

When I go to the boot screen at launch (holding Alt while starting the Mac), I get two "Macintosh HD", which is the name of the partition OS X is installed on. It doesn't seem to make a difference if I choose one or the other to boot.

I have an iMac with Fusion drive (maybe the boot screen see both drives as separate entity), I also have a bootcamp partition with Windows on it.

Wondering if this could mean a problem with my setup, of the way my Fusion drive is configured.

I have to mention, from what I remember, it started when I installed Yosemite public beta a while ago, when the "boot screen" was changed to black. Since then, for another reason (problem installing a boot camp partition), I actually formatted the whole drive, removing all partitions and even used the terminal to "undo" the fusion drive, then "re-fused it" and then "clean installed" everything back starting from scratch.

This didn't change the "problem" of having two boot disk in the boot screen.

I was wondering, is that a known bug with Yosemite ? And can I do something about it ?
