You select the default operating system in System Preferences > Startup Disk. In Windows, Startup Disk is in your Control Panel. You can also hold down the option key at startup and pick your OS.

In your systems preferences Start-up disk, after you select your OSX disk as start-up disk, click on the lock to prevent other changes. It will start in OSX and if you want to start Windows, hold option key on start-up to select the Windows drive.

I just did the Boot Camp install and had the same problem. When I opened the Startup Disk utility it didn't show any disks, I put the OS X install CD in and opened the Startup Disk utility again. It showed the OS X CD, I selected it and restarted the computer. When it started with the disk I poked around in the menus for a bit and found a startup disk utility there, changed it to OS X and rebooted. I worked.
