Well, I know that this one works.

tell application "Startup Disk"
set localboot to true
set netboot to false
set startup disk alias to alias "Dora:"
set startup system folder alias to alias
"Dora:System:Library:CoreServices:BootX"
end tell
tell application "Finder"
restart
end tell

I don't know whether all the lines are required; I suspect that the first
two lines of the first tell block can be removed, and maybe the third.
Obviously, you'd have to change the disk name from Dora to your own
disk's name.
