import Carbon.File
print Carbon.File.FSRef('/').FSGetCatalogInfo(0)[1]
# looks like the full unicode name for the volume.. but maybe OS9 colon 
paths use the FSSpec paths?

I only know about the OS9 APIs from very very very limited experience 
with C on the mac a few years ago (porting director xtras).. so I 
wouldn't take stuff I say as authoritative on the subject.
