hum.  If it shows up in the prefs then it's a valid system to boot from...

Does it seem to delay at all, as if it's searching for that boot 
volume?  I'm thinking maybe because it's the 6th device in the search 
order, it's not "ready" for some reason when the strap reaches for it.

If you select that boot volume then close the prefs and restart 
normally, does it work?

If you zap the pram, does it work?

If you boot holding down the option key - which should show you the 
boot choices, is it listed?

How old is your pram/backup battery?
