Were you ever able to use the startup control panel without trouble after installing OS 10 of any flavor? My understanding is that the startup disk control panel will not work after installing OS X. That is why XPostFacto has that function built in, because that is how it enables you to install and then run OS X on an unsupported machine, and be able to use it to switch from OS 9 to OS X.
Maybe I am wrong, but I think the problem is caused by having OS X installed on an unsupported machine, not by XPostFacto.
