hmm, I'd have expected it the other way around, prior to 10g you had to
explicitly start automatic archival (via log_archive_start). In those days
if you enabled archiving but didn't set log_archive_start true then you had
to manually archive. I don't have an 8/9 to experiment on to show this
though.
