I netbooted the OS again to try pdisk on the disk, it says this:

Edit /dev/wd0c -
Command (? for help): P

And then it keeps scrolling on for a long time, all the way to 48923:

Still trying to boot from the disk, still reading more stuff, so far no luck.

Once again it's a blue and white G3 with a 400 mhz processor. Maybe this helps:
