Holding CTRL-ALT-(right) SHIFT + UNDO at boot should do the same thing.

Glad to hear that you have sorted it out.
@mfro is correct, there's the shortcut available, too.
As for the C: vs. A: issue, you can't really avoid booting from A: in any way. If there's an executable boot sector on A:, it will be booted no matter what.
Oh and I would advise to stay away from the Facebook groups, at least as far as asking for advice is concerned. That group is... well, let's just say those people are usually new Falcon owners (couple of years at most) and their answer to anything is "replace the PSU, recap the PCB". :)

Well recapping is a requirement anyway. Falcons are too rare, too fragile, and way too expensive to let any problem come inbetween.
It was tied to the NVRAM, fine, but this is also a part that has to be maintained as well :)
