When you want to use a zip-drive for booting, then there must be a driver on the zip disk.
Use Iomega Tools 4.2 when formatting your disk. Iomega-Tools places a hardware-driver on the disk. This driver is used to access the scsi-device when booting from this disk. This driver is equivalent to a SCSI-Diskdriver wich is located on the bootstrap of your scsi harddisk. The driver is missing when you format zip-disks with Iomega "Windows"-Tools or MacOS 8 and higher. Zipdiscs formatted with a G5 iMac will not boot on a 68k-Mac. You can drop the Iomega 4.2 driver-extension in your MacOS 6/ MacOS 7.x system-folder. The extension-driver can access also disks without a "hardware-driver" formatted with Windows or MacOS 8 and higher.
