"UNABLE TO LOAD PRODOS" just means that what you have there is not a boot
disk, but a data disk.  (A boot disk has some extra files used for, well,
booting.)  Boot with some other ProDOS disk -- any one will do -- then take
it out, and put in your disk containing shrinkit34.sdk.  Or better yet,
boot on the 5.25" drive, then put your 3.5" disk in the other drive.
