Am I wrong?
I am afraid that yes, you are.
Classic 68k Macs will only boot from an Apple-ROM SCSI CD. With a
hacked CD driver in the OS, you can attach non-Apple drives and read
disks on a booted machine, but you can't boot off them, so you can't
install the OS from optical media.
The others' comments about hard disks are also correct. *Apple's* hard
disk formatting tools will only partition and format Apple-ROM SCSI
hard disks. There were lots of 3rd party tools but they cost money. At
least with hard disks, you could boot off them... but you could
reformat, reinstall, then find that you couldn't format the drive any
more because the OS' formatting tool would say "no disks here, guv."
