Hello Mark: You could also hit command-r, then hit the power button.
Wait a couple of seconds, and after a bit hit command-F5 which will bring up VO. Next do command-q and you should be presented a startup disk. Or to make things really simple, if in Lion, system preference and startup disk. This will also working going back from ML to Lion.
