XPostFacto can't write to NVRAM

I'm trying to install OS X on my unsupported mac, using XPostFacto..  i selected the install disk and the destination disk, and clicked install.  It began to do it's initial file copying process, but a little after the mach kernel is copied i get an error saying 'unable to continue, failed to write to NVRAM.'  I thought maybe the extensions would have to be off for it to write to the non-volatile ram, but i guess you cant really do anything with the extensions off.  I really have no idea how to get around this error. any ideas?

OS X isnt supported on your machine for a reason. XPostFacto can only "fake it" for certain computers, not all, and even then it may not like certain configurations. That's just the way it is.

What type of computer are you trying to install on

I'm running on a Power Mac G3/266 Mhz plus a 100 Mhz upgrade card.  To my understanding, the computer should be compatible but the upgrade card is what keeps OS X from being installed.
