Being that you have an older Mac...

<http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html>

You can get GS/OS 6 from there as Mac disk images.  Or if you're 
transferring to the Mac via SCSI, just download the .bin files and 
hopefully you have StuffIt of some sort on the Mac and then you could 
just drop the files onto StuffIt Expander and you'll end up with the Mac 
disk images.  Then you can use Disk Copy (there's a version on the same 
page farther down with the Powerbook 3400 stuff) to write the disks out 
and then boot your GS.
