There are "freeness" problems with the boot-loader program that goes on
the PowerMac (OldWorld) floppies. So the working PowerMac Debian boot
floppies are not well advertised [*]. They are buried away at
http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/2005-06-20/powerpc/
Give that a try. If it doesn't work, try earlier dates than
'2005-06-20'.
It's not a politically correct viewpoint but in my humble opinion, you
are best off getting a MacOS {8 or 9} installation CD and using MacOS
with the BootX extension as your Linux boot loader. Email me off-list
if you need instructions for doing that.
I've never tried a 7300 personally, but installing from floppy can be
done on a Beige G3 mini-tower, because I've got a couple of them
running right now to prove it. But MacOS with BootX is way easier!

[*] The advertised boot floppy images don't work because they don't
contain the (non-free) miboot program. Sigh! Politics is *so* much
fun!
