As of several weeks ago, the 8MB boot problems were resolved. The
last problem I was aware of involved a step in the installation process
where a S/6000 Model 320 would thrash if too many LPPs were installed.
This problem was resolved, and as far as I know, there are no remaining
installation problems involving 8MB machines.
