Option (Alt).
Then go into System Prefs and change it there.

If all he's seeing in Startup Manager (the official name of the option-key disk selector) is the refresh (chasing arrow) and continue (straight arrow) buttons, then the computer is not seeing ANY bootable volumes at all, and that is where the diagnostics need to pick up.
