In yet another attempt to improve general scripting skills …

% bless --info --getBoot
/dev/disk0s2

% diskutil info -plist /dev/disk0s2 > /tmp/$$.plist
% /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print /tmp/$$.plist | fgrep VolumeName
    VolumeName = Mac HD

(or MediaName … they seem to be the same to me)
Unfortunately PlistBuddy won't take stdin

% bless --info --getBoot
bsdp://en0@129.97.#.#

which shows from which server it will boot but I couldn't get the netboot image out of it.
