If your disk isn't coming up, I would look at a SCSI termination
problem. Look up the jumpers of the disk online, see if it is terminated.
FYI, Mac OS 7.3 is a free download from Apple. I don't remember if it
supports HFS+ though. In fact, I'd say probably not, but I have used
MacOS 7.3 for other purposes when licensing was an issue. It does work,
and it's fast, like good for a Mac rescue for hardware that qualifies.
What does
cat /proc/partitions
show? Any new ones?
