It only allows you to choose a startup disk if you have more than one
disk/partition with startup folders present. If you have, say, OS 9 and OS X
on the same partition, you won't have a choice.

If you *do* have two startup disks or two startup partitions present, and
cannot get the choice at startup, it means that one of the partitions/disks
is not seen as a valid startup volume. If one of the disks is external, make
sure your cables are not loose! If all of the disks/volumes are internal, it
might be time to break out disk troubleshooting software.
