There are plenty of other ways but this is the one that occurred to me 
first that does not require PyObjC:

import Carbon.File
startupVolumeName = Carbon.File.FSRef('/').FSGetCatalogInfo()[1]

and here is a PyObjC example:

from Foundation import *
startupVolumeName = 
NSFileManager.defaultManager().displayNameAtPath_(u'/')
