This is an edit to clarify my system: I'm attempting to run Yosemite on the system specified in my description to the left. I can't remember what setup I used for multibeast, but that doesn't really matter because I'm not even getting far enough into the boot process for the os to load the drivers. Please help; I can't find any other solution other than restarting from the beginning, and I'd rather not do that.
I turn the computer on, and this appears indefinitely:
Boot 0: GPT
Boot 0: test
Boot 0: test
Boot 0: done_

This is all it shows, no errors. The reason this is so weird is, first, it doesn't display an error, and second, this happens even if I don't have a drive of over 1 TB inside. The boot drive is a 16 GB SSD, with an additional 1 TB hard drive (yes, but wait a minute). When I first installed the hard drive, I restarted the system right after partitioning it for osx use, and it worked fine. I restarted it the next day, and then it started to do this. What's really weird is that, as I previously mentioned, when I disconnected the 1 TB hard drive and tried to start up the system again, it did exactly the same thing.

Do a search on "boot 0 error" and you'll find the answer and the fix.
 
You didn't read the entire post. It isn't really the normal version of a boot 0 error, because it doesn't give an error, it just shows the said list of text forever (with "done" instead of "error"). Also, the hard drive I have installed isn't large enough for a normal boot 0 error, it's just 16 GB, and it has successfully booted before, so this has just appeared arbitrarily, for no apparent reason. Never mind, though; I managed to boot into the os on my normal drive successfully after booting from the usb drive that I used for the installation. If anyone's got a solution that means that I don't need an extra usb drive in my computer, and I don't have to select my hard drive every time I start my computer up, I'm all ears, but until then, I'm happy about not having to troubleshoot this further.

Even though it isn't quite the same error, I suspect the solution is similar, and that you need to reinstall the bootloader on the drive (using the standalone Chimera installer -- yes, I'm making the assumption you're using Chimera since you said you're running Yosemite and not El Capitan).
