If you have other macs, of an older vintage, you can use a SCSI
based external hard drive to boot this. If not, you can download a
system disk set from Apple... I don't remember exactly which system
was originally distributed with it, but I am sure system 7 will work...
If you are downloading disk images from apple's web site, you will
need to image these files onto floppies or build a system on an HD.
If you are in the Seattle area, I can help you and I have much too
much old mac stuff...
Good luck,
Marty
