Did you do a "Clean Install" of OS8?   Did you remember to turn off all
non-Apple extensions?

I have OS8 running on both my 8600 and PB3400 without any problems.  I
have also installed 12 copies of OS8 on various machines for a client
without problems.

OS8, when properly installed in accordance with the instructions, is a
highly stable OS.
