  I'm having the same problem as Mr. Mendez. It turns out that if the
Mac is cold, below maybe 65F (17 Celsius), some components don't work
right. The hard disk in this case is not considered an OK startup device,
and it is unable to boot. I myself just let it sit turned on like this for
a few minutes, and after that the startup works fine. It would be good if
Apple designed their machines to work in climates colder than California
as well (-:
