Have a look at this message (and the rest of the thread):

http://lists.maconlinux.org/pipermail/mol-general/2005-July/003785.html

What Matt finally did was to change the Info.plist file in a disc  
image and install from the modified image. But what I would try first  
is changing the compatible attribute in /usr/share/mol/<version>/ 
oftrees/oftree.x to

...
     (property compatible         <str>          "Powerbook5,6",  
"AAPL,MOL", "MacRISC", "Power Macintosh" )
...

You can pick anything from Powerbook5,1 to Powerbook5,7 I think.

However, if this doesn't work, you can still use a modified disc  
image as described by Matt.
