Restoring Macintosh Names

For example when I go "About this Macintosh" it's just a generic "Macintosh" or "Power Macintosh". Is there a way to get the model name back?

System 7.1 seems to report the models just fine, and I didn't do anything special while installing it. Mac OS 9 cannot even tell the difference between my G3 and MOL.
