This will unfortunately not quite work. When you use Startup Disk to switch your boot device, the "boot-args" variable is erased (in order to prevent stray things like NetBoot rp= arguments from messing up your next boot). If you want to do this, use Startup Disk, quit System Preferences, when open Terminal and use nvram, and then reboot. Don't do it in the opposite order. True, the Startup Disk control panel will clear the boot-args variable, but if you use the Option key on boot to choose a different startup disk, the boot-args setting will survive the switch.
