You really need to start from scratch with MacOS installed. Can you
beg, borrow or steal ;-) a MacOS8.6 disc? Once you have that you can
boot from the CD, format your hard drive, install the bare minimum MacOS
and do a net install as per the link I sent you previously.
Do you have a broadband connection?
