well, for me, pressing C works. So i cannot debug this. The only people 
that can fix such a problem are those that experience the problem.
I think we knew this happened just before release, but nobody could figure 
out why. My guess is the firmware somehow doesn't recognize the disk as 
bootable (which is obviously wrong since it is bootable), but i've no idea 
why not.
