I had some problems with netatalk 1.4b2 and MacOS 8.0, especially flashing 
icons.  I am now using Adrian Sun's netalk 1.4b2=asun2.0a16 version, which 
implements AFP 2.2 (appleshare TCPIP) and apparently also fixes a number of Mac 8.0 related problems.  See ftp://ftp.u.washington.edu/public/asun for 
more.
