In my case, pressing F12 gave me the device booting order menu. It showed only my hard disk as the device (I have only one hard disk). However, below that it listed OS options: ubuntu twice (perhaps including earlier version) and also windows. Once could use arrow keys to select the OS to boot. However, using + and - keys one could change the order of the OS options in the menu.

I checked this again today, since I did not remember clearly what I did the first time.

I entirely agree with Teo in that the only way to make 13.04 work for me was to use boot repair. If that was a misconfiguration, why is that I could upgrade to 13.10 without a hiccup? If the upgrade to 13.10 worked without a problem, the upgrade to 14.04 is clearly following a different system which does not take care of what the upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 could take care of.

I also agree with Teo that those who are meant to fix the bug are not the ones who are helping, but people like us who are venting their frustrations also end up helping each other.
