Once you have gotten your system running, open System Preferences, interact with the preference panes scroll area and navigate to the "Startup disk" button. VO space on this button, and you will find radio buttons shown from which you can choose your startup disk. Another way you could do this is to press command plus R after the Mac restarting bong sounds. Hold command R for about 20 seconds. This will boot your Mac into the "recovery" disk partition. You can then activate VoiceOver with command f5. Once VoiceOver is speaking, go to the menu bar with VO m. I believe the start up disk can be chosen from the Apple menu there. You won't need sighted assistance for either of these methods.
