I'm not sure just what you're trying to do or what's special about
line 8, but how about this?
vim +:$ '+:silent! ?pattern?+1' +:star! somefile
This will search backwards for "pattern" from the last line of the
file. If it finds "pattern", it will start in insert mode with the
cursor at the end of the line following the one containing
"pattern". Otherwise, it will start in insert mode with the cursor
at the end of the last line.
HTH,
