You mean setting it as the Startup disk? This is odd, it should find it anyway 
if it's not set. You should get a flashing question mark briefly, then a 
startup icon when it finds it.

If not specified, a mac will look at each mounted volume that's attached to 
find a blessed system folder. Technically speaking you should only need to use 
Startup Disk if there are more than one volume with a system folder attached to 
the computer.

Glad to know you solved the issue, I just still wonder why you had it in the 
first place if this is what fixed it...odd!
