I believe the answer is "no".

The reason is that the DLT8000 attaches only to a FWSCSI interface.

On a non-a/non-n class HP3000, one can boot from a dlt drive as long as it
is a SE SCSI connected drive. This can only be a DLT4000 (There are also
DLT4000's that can connect to a FW SCSI interface, but you cannot boot from
those - on a non-a/non-n class machine)

You didn't ask - but I will offer that you CAN boot from a DLT8000 on a
a/n-class HP3000. (I suspect the same is true of a DLT7000 - but I cannot
say that from personal experience).
