Solution 1: Use UniBeast
Pros: Easy- OS X Only
Cons: Requires use of the Terminal and UniBeast drive.
How To Do it:
1. Install Lion Using UniBeast
2. Boot new installation using UniBeast.
3. Run MultiBeast and install as normal
4. Reboot system back into Lion installer.
5. Run Disk Utility and unmount the drive you installed OS Lion on.
6. Launch Terminal and execute the following command:
Code:
dd if=/Volumes/"Unibeast Volume Name"/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/disk0s2
In my case my UniBeast volume is called "OS X 10.7.4" so my command would be:
dd if=/Volumes/OS\ X\ 10.7.4/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/disk0s2
7. Exit Terminal
8. Reboot Normally
NOTE: The about instructions are based on OS X Lion being installed to a hard drive connected to SATA port 0. If you are using a different port you will need to get the drive device name from Disk Utility by selecting the volume and clicking Info.

Hi MacMan;
"Solution 1" worked for Seagate Momentus XT 750GB, one of the new hybrid HD/SSD drives. I installed it in a HP ProBook 4730s. Note, as best I could find the HP ProBook is SATA II, the Seagate is SATA III ( backward compatible ). On this laptop the installed Lion drive could not be booted via UniBeast. My method is described below, the only way it worked. I could only get into it from Lion on a USB HD, maybe a quirk of this laptop ????
Like others before me I didn't follow the instructions carefully enough, got the source and target backwards. And I also went way off track trying different approaches, that didn't work.
I connected the the Seagate to my desktop system via internal SATA III cable. Then cloned an existing working Lion 1074. Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think it matters how you get Lion onto the hard drive. Cloning via USB, SATA, a SATA to USB adapter or using a UniBeast USB Flash Drive Lion installer.
Since wanderers like me have tried every other way, for sure "Solution 1" is the only way it works as described step by step. Once you get it right it's simple stupid.
What through me off was I thought "Unibeast Volume Name" meant my Lion system installed using UniBeast. Don't ask me how, a little brain dead I guess.
I changed the name of my UniBeast installer from a long "ProBook 1074 Installer" name to just "UniBeast". So my terminal command was this . . .
dd if=/Volumes/UniBeast/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/disk0s2
Note my target drive was disk0s2.
One other thing I got wrong on my first attempt, as others here have, I selected the drive in Disk Utility, instead of the 1st partition of the drive. For our readers, in Disk Utility you will see something like this for the partition you are installing Lion on (* represents the disk icons) . . .
* 60.02 GB OCZ-AGILITY3 Media
* Lion Boot 1074
"Lion Boot 1074" is the name of the disk drive icon that would be seen on the Desktop.
Maybe "5. Run Disk Utility and unmount the drive you installed OS Lion on." should read "5. Run Disk Utility and unmount the partition you installed OS Lion on."
This is a great solution, I found it by searching for "Boot0 Error".
MacMan you are the man.
Thanks
