Full support for this hardware is currently only in -CURRENT, and missed the 8.0 release inclusion deadline. It should be in 8-stable immediately after the release, however. I can supply an install ISO for -CURRENT, if you are interested. But the CD should at least get you to complaints from the SATA controller, and the kernel certainly should not be jumping to a NULL address like it appears to be doing. Can you give some more details on your setup (i.e. serial or video console, did you boot by pressing 'C' or from the Open Firmware prompt, etc.), and maybe the full transcript of your boot attempt, with the snipped bits restored?
