AFAIK the C8000s have unsupported serial ports / network card.
Adding a real cheap serial card worked very well for me with the 'latest'
HPPA netinstall iso.
Balint succeeded installing a C8000 by using a USB CD-ROM drive (+
additional serial card).
See threads:

There are a few more threads from Jan-May 2010 that may contain some
useful information about installing on a C8000.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
