The install notes should answer the questions you have.  In particular, you
have a PowerBook 3400, which is listed as having Open Firmware 2.0.x.  In
the section on "Available Boot Media", Open Firmware 2.0.x does *not*
support HFS formatted disks as a bootable device.

Format your Zip disk with a supported filesystem.

Additionally, the install notes and FAQ say that HFS is not natively
supported by NetBSD/macppc either.  You will need to install additional
userland tools to access files on a HFS partition.
