loading 3.12 on a new server

That's not normal. I would have given up after about 10 minutes.

For best results on that big of volume (8gb could be considered large for NW3.12)... Make the Block size 64K.

You would be better off stting your SYS volume down to 1gig or even 500 meg, 8gig for a SYS volume is a complete waste of disk space. Stick with 4, 8, or 16K block size. You should also check that your memory greater than 16mg is registering before you load the SYS volume.
