I haven't tried using Redhat on the SunFire, but I have been using
Debian on a SunFire V100. The only think to watch out for with this is
that the ethernet is is a Davicom DM9102/DM9201A which uses the tulip
drivers instead of the Davicom drivers and the two ethernet devices are
swapped in linux from what they are in Solaris.

Otherwise, I just boot the SunFire from a recent Debian CD.
