I think you can change it with multi beast, but I was uncertain how to avoid changing anything else, so I just edit the text file where the information is stored. If you can edit a text file, you can fix it. First use a code editor (not MS Word or similar). For things like this Text Edit will...

The approach you suggest should work. There are a couple of warnings that I would offer: 1. When you use one of the backup tools Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner, neither will copy the boot blocks, so you need to make sure that they are installed anew with Chameleon or copied from the drive...
