Updated(1/4/12): Typo
Updated(1/5/12): Works during first install

This Guide will correct the boot0 error.

This is the only method that worked for me to install Chameleon on a 4k drive.
My laptop is stock. No extra hard drives. if yours is the same, you will not need to make any changes to the commands. If it is different, use disktutil list to get your disk/partition locations.

Requirements:
unibeast usb stick
working lion install
usb keyboard
the Chameleon zip attached to this post

Part 1:
download and install Chimera from tonymacx86 download page
-or-
download and install Chameleon from osx86.net's boot loader page
-then-
Download the attached Chameleon zip, extract it to your desktop.
Put the i386 folder on your unibeast usb stick
shutdown

Part 2:
plug in a usb keyboard (right side usb ports only)
boot off of your unibeast usb stick (right side usb ports only)
select USB to boot into the lion install
Click continue
unplug your usb keyboard
Select Utilties, Disk Utility
Right click your Lion Partition, click unmount
Quit disk utility.
Select Utilties, Terminal
type: diskutil list
-write down your lion disk and partition. Stock will be be disk0 Partition 2
-write down your USB disk and partition. Stock will be disk1 Partition 1


Part 3:
Mounting the unibeast flash drive. On my system it was Disk 1 partition 1. If yours is different changes the bolded numbers.
mount_hfs /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/USB

Change directory to the unibeast flash drive, and the i386 Chameleon folder
cd /Volumes/USB/i386

install Chameleon to disk 0, partition 2.
dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2

exit
shutdown your laptop
unplug usb stick
Your done!

Just tested this method and it works during the first time your installing lion. Obviously first boot you boot on unibeast to install Chameleon or Chimera.

One less headache!

It is my understanding that it will not work as well on OS X, and linux is sometimes needed.

It works perfectly for osx. Doesn't matter the drive make or model or osx version. Linux is not required.

I have been looking for something like this. It was annoying that on my server I would have to leave the USB stick in to boot off of. With this the boot times and speed of the computer seem to have skyrocketed!

REALLY and truly thanks! Only thing is I get an EBIOS error 3 or 4 times quickly in a row than it will boot to Chimera.

Go into bios and set the hard drive as top boot priority.

I followed the instructions exactly, also tried anumber of times but I am still getting the boot error and am stuck in the restart loop

For everyone who has succesfully got past the boot error using the above methos, can you please tell me what I am doing wrong here ( I have included pictures for every step):
