So yes, I did the mount_hfs of the EFI partition, installed boot0 with fdisk, installed boot1h to the bootsector of the EFI partition, copied boot to /Volumes/EFI, touched /Volumes/EFI/.fseventsd/no_log, made sure the EFI partition is flagged as active with fdisk, made sure that ignore permissions on both the SL partition and EFI partition are unchecked. I then installed my kexts, DSDT, plists, and made my Extensions.mkext. I then finished with the usual chmod -R 755, and chown -R root:wheel.
When I reboot, it's clearly booting from the USB, and I get the boot0 error. I can't think of what I've missed, except:

Can you explain/show how you set EFI partition active? I think I know what caused the problem. Usually when you run below command,

1) Install boot0
sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk1

the EFI partition should already set to active.
From your story, it seems you run "fdisk" twice; 1) installing boot0 2) set active. The problem occurs when you "trying" to set EFI partition active for the second time (accidentally overwrite boot0 you installed before). This was the cause for "boot0" error. Mac OS X version of fdisk kinda different than linux version.
