Usually your file system / environment should look like:

$ORACLE_BASE = /opt/oracle (or somewhere else)
$ORACLE_HOME = $ORACLE_BASE/product/8.0.6  for 8.0.6
$ORACLE_HOME = $ORACLE_BASE/product/8.1.7  for 8.1.7

initXXX.ora resides in the corresponding $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/ directory. $ORACLE_HOME + instance name is referenced in /etc/oratab.
