How to choose partition

[mattonthemoon]

Is there anyway like windows (duel boots) to have the bootcamp partitions appear at boot, without holding down the 'option' key, i'd like to always have a choice without having to press keys.

I would like to know too. My defaults to windows each time.

Can't you just launch OS X then open System Preferences->Startup Disk and choose what you want. I seem to remember that in BootCamp Apple put something similar in the Windows setup Control Panels too.

you are missing the point, matt wants to be offered the choice at startup without having to hold down the alt key.

the startup disk control panels (mac and win) are a much slower way to switch.

the choice made at startup is not saved to the disk, so i set startup on mac, and use the alt key only if i want to use windows.

If you want it to ask you, hold down the option key. There's no other way without modifying the boot-loader.
You can choose bootup drives in OS X or windows, see:
