3) From Mac OS 9, run NetBSD's pdisk. I had to use the mac68k version so
it would see internal ATA disks (the ppc version only sees SCSI disks);
pdisk is available here:

In Mac OS 9, pdisk (somewhat unsafely) lets you change (or rename)
partitions even if they're active. That can come in handy if you can't
boot from a different disk.
After managing to get that utility from the compressed archive, I ran it
under Mac OS 9 and changed the partition type back to Apple Bootstrap.
Then I installed Debian from the recommended ISO image for this purpose
to the iMac G3 and ... It worked like a charm! Not a single error!
I don't know what kind of black magic you have here, but thank you very
much!
