Check the PRAM batteries; if the PRAM battery dies, the Startup Disk
control panel setting will be erased and the Mac can "forget" what its
System disk is.
Try holding cmd-opt-shift-delete to see if that can get them to recognise
the HD as the startup disk, assuming nothing happened to corrupt the drive.
