You need two floppies for oldWorld Macs, and neither one is made from
the rescue.bin floppy image. That image, unlike its i386 couterpart,
is just for the to-be-installed kernel. Burn hfs-boot-floppy.img to
one floppy, and root.bin to another. Insert hfs-boot-floppy, it should
ask for root.bin, and you're on the road.
Please read the manual (link in my .sig). It's all in there.
