There was a bug in the 8.0 install CDs that prevents them from booting 
on a large number of G5 systems. You can use a 9.0-SNAP image I made in 
November to get a bootable CD:

Also, -CURRENT now has some updates to smu(4) that prevent the fans in 
SMU-based machines from running at maximum all the time, which should be 
MFCed shortly and will be in 8.1. Once those are MFCed in the next week 
or two, I will make an 8.0-STABLE CD with those updates.
