Strange, but true.
I know what holding down the option key during startup is supposed to do... what it does for me is slightly different.
The screen with the choice of drives starts to load (ie. I see two drives... not always the same ones... to choose from), but before actually letting me choose the screen vanishes only to be replaced with the firmware screen:
ALLOC-MEM request too big!
