As it seems you do have a i386 machine, you can use the MacEtte program
to create Mac floppies on it. See
www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/mac-internet.txt and
www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/68000.txt for details. These faq's deal with
getting the m68k Mac's to run anything, and to get them on the
internet, without any previous running MacOS, CD's or disks.
HTH, Erik.
