The file system of the hd is vfat.

Then you should have followed my advice and read the SEE ALSO section of
"man mkfs", which would have forwarded you to "man mkfs.vfat", where you
would have found this:

SYNOPSIS
mkdosfs [ -A ] [ -b sector-of-backup ] [ -c ] [ -l filename ] [ -C ]
[ -f number-of-FATs ] [ -F FAT-size ] [ -h number-of-hidden-sectors ]
[ -i volume-id ] [ -I ] [ -m message-file ] [ -n volume-name ] [ -r
root-dir-entries ] [ -R number-of-reserved-sectors ] [ -s
sectors-per-cluster ] [-S logical-sector-size ] [ -v ] device
[ block-count ]

...

-n volume-name
Sets the volume name (label) of the filesystem. The volume name can be
up to 11 characters long. The default is no label.
