Yet another possibility would to use a MacEmulator program called
'Executor' It can be found at www.ardi.com. It is a handy utility for
making 1.4meg mac disks that are readable/bootable on Macs. You may need
to search for an older demo version online as I'm not sure if the
current demo allows you to write to floppys or format them. Executor
comes preloaded with a MacOS clone/rewrite. But I'd go to the homepage
for more info.

P.S. I used this program in 97 or 98 to install MacOS 7.~ on a OS-less
Powerbook
