After managing to get that utility from the compressed archive, I ran it 
under Mac OS 9 and changed the partition type back to Apple Bootstrap.

Then I installed Debian from the recommended ISO image for this purpose 
to the iMac G3 and ... It worked like a charm! Not a single error!

I don't know what kind of black magic you have here, but thank you very
