There's a thread on this:

My eyes glazed over before I reached the end, so I don't know if it definitively answers your question.

Just buy something like this

At Home Depot or any hardware store. Then connect the ground and neutral together with a small piece of 12 guage wire. Then plug it into the 15 amp recepticle on the generator. This will take care of the open ground. Plug your power cord into the generator as usual and it should work.

I just did this last week and it solved the problem.

My PI EMS-HW30C unit has a bypass switch on the display, when using the generator I just put it in bypass mode and it works.
