Either should boot your machine without problems. Unfortunately, due to this problem being discovered so late in the release cycle, the fix for CD booting will not make it into the 8.0 release. 8.0 will boot and run fine on G5 systems, but will have to be installed by net-booting. Once the 8.0 release is finalized, I will MFC the patches place an 8.0-STABLE-SNAP install CD somewhere for people who want it. -Nathan
