This is the same error that occurs on Mac OS X Public Beta. They changed
something internally and it's the wrong error message for what should read
"Sorry, you must run Mac OS 9.1 on real hardware."

I can't remember the real reason for this change, but it's something to do
with the new G4 series with the MPC7450 processor (instead of the MPC7410).
