You need to provide more information here... you installed sol8 from CD using webstart and it crashed during installation or it crashed after installation?
The install process is fairly straight forward if you use the WebStart GUI. The default settings are not the greatest, but they should at least set you up with a working system.
If you get a working system at all, then the first thing you should do is install the recommended patch cluster at sunsolve.sun.com.
If you can't get to the point where youhave a working OS, then try a different set of CD's.
