Thanks to Michelle Steiner and Andy Wylie, it works !

In case others are interested, here is my version :

--
tell application "Startup Disk"
set localboot to true -- required!
set it's startup system folder alias to ,
"U:System:Library:CoreServices:BootX" as alias
quit
end tell

tell application "Finder" to restart
--
The two critical things were
to set localboot to true
And
to use the full path to the location of BootX (rather than "HD:System:"
as I tried first)

Alternate forms also seem to work. Don't know if it makes any difference:
set startup system folder alias to "..." as alias
set startup system folder alias to alias "..."
