I have finally cracked the code on this one and it's now booting via the hard drive. The problem turned out to be my Nvidia 8400 GS of all things. Or more specifically, I had to remove the NVDAResman.kext from /S/L/E to get it to boot after the initial install of ML on the hard drive.
Once I did that, the system booted, but of course I am limited to 1024x768 resolution and no QE/CI.
But I do have it booting on it's own now with sound and ethernet both working.
One other odd thing was that the DSDT I had been using since my SL days would not let the system boot properly. I found one on OSx86.net and I'm using it right now.
Just a message from mosslack...

I'm able to follow your guide (GA-P35-DS3L - Mountain Lion - UniBeast v1.52)successfully.
Only the sound that I have a problem with. I'm not sure what version of the MultiBeast you were using by the time you wrote this guide. I have version 5.02 and the option to select the sound is different from your guide.

I used the special boot loader which came with the iHackintosh ML
installation guide, at least initially.
THEN, I went back and used MultiBeast for other purposes, but mainly to
get Voodoo 0.2.1.
FINALLY, I changed from the iHackintosh-provided Intel LAN kext to the
MultiBeast-provided one.
Probably too involved for most folks, but I was running with the developer
edition of the system (GM ... same as the released version) and tonymacx86
still had a discussion ban on ML issues.
Sorry to get in your group, but I just wanted to ask if you have this ''guide'' posted somewhere? Looking what kind of multibeast settings you used for this board. Thanks in advance;)

All of the install guides are listed on HQ-A website here: http://hq-a.weebly.com/ The guides are on the INSTALL GUIDES page. HTH

Hey Thanks for the guide it worked great I just have two questions if you don't mind? I'm having trouble with sleep/wake. I can't wake the system from sleep mode do you have this problem also?
And maybe cosmetic but my drives are being shown as ''external'' do you know what might be causing this?
Thanks in advance

There are many reasons why sleep/wake doesn't work correctly. I usually put a disclaimer in my guides stating that I NEVER use sleep so I don't bother trying to see if it even works or not. If you have to have working sleep/wake, remember Google is your friend and good luck.

If you followed the guide, this should have been fixed using this MultiBeast option from step 5:

My DC7800 SFF (Lion) and my DC7900 CMT (Mountain Lion) are pretty much the
same.
NEITHER has IOAHCIBlokStorageInjector
AND BOTH display internal drives with silver icons and external drives
with orange icons.
Of course, the DC7800 doesn't actually have ACHI, but it uses a special
kext to simulate it.
The DC7900 is as cleans as it gets. ACHI in the BIOS and the only hack is
FakeSMC.

As I said before, you can read more about the problem and possible solutions here:
my advice is to live with the orange icons. in my experience with hacks, if you get too aggressive fixing one problem you often generate a new, and worse, problem.
My install went amazingly. Perhaps the easiest install I've ever done. I had a supported EVGA GeForce 210 card (that I've used with SL). The first two times I rebooted the system I got the dreaded CMOS reset issue, but it was gone after the 2nd reboot. THANK YOU! My MB is rev 2.0, btw.
