My first thought on reading this is that you have the OS 8 CD in the drive, but it's trying to boot from the Hard Drive... A flashing question mark generally signifies a damaged System Folder or problems with the System files. Try holding down the "C" key when you boot to force it to boot from the CD. If that doesn't work, I'd hold the usual rituals over it to exorcise any voodoo demons (take out the battery, unplug it and hold in the reset button for 120 seconds or so... ; plug it back in, leave the battery out, fire it up and Zap the PRAM through about half a dozen chimes... then try again...)
