I have installed the OS 8.6 on a 3400 straight from the OS installdisk that was not a specific powerbookversion. I have also several times partitioned and lowlevelformatted hd*s on the 3400, someone said here that this would destroy the disk forever, but that never happened to me, I wonder why aren't you allowed to do that ? and how else can you partition ? or fix root problems IF you are not allowed to lowlevelformat? once the files/roots are corrupted you have to throw the disk away.
