System and Method of Providing a User-Friendly Device Path

A system, comprising:

• an information handling system adapted to, during a boot flow:
• receive an initial device path related to a device that is integrated with or coupled to the information handling system;
• identify a system-specific device location table based on a node included in the initial device path;
• receive a particular alternate location string associated with the node at the system-specific location table, wherein the particular alternate location string includes a user-friendly location string;
• add the particular alternate location string to an alternate device path string related to the device;
• and
• output the alternate device path to a user after the alternate device path includes an alternate location string associated with each node of the initial device path.

A computer-readable medium including processor-readable instructions that are executable by a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

• during a boot flow at the information handling system:
• receiving an initial device path related to a device that is integrated with or coupled to the information handling system;
• identifying a system-specific device location table based on a node included in the initial device path;
• receiving a particular alternate location string associated with the node at the system-specific location table, wherein the particular alternate location string includes a user-friendly location string;
• adding the particular alternate location string to an alternate device path string related to the device;
• and
• outputting the alternate device path to a user after the alternate device path includes an alternate location string associated with each node of the initial device path.
