Create a Fusion Drive with a Recovery Partition
Authored by: cpragman on Apr 25, '14 06:05:37PM

You didn't mention what OS you had this issue with. Fusion drives are allegedly supported on 10.8.3 and higher.
If you have 10.8.3 or greater, you can try booting from your temporary clone, and running the OSX Installer. Install a fresh copy of OSX on the original Internal HD. This should create a working OS on "Macintosh HD", and will also create the "Recovery HD" and "Boot_EFI" partitions. After doing that, create the fusion drive using the diskutil core storage commands (join the "Macintosh HD" partition and the SSD together, leaving the Boot_EFI and Recovery Partition undisturbed.

I've actually had to do this a few times myself.
