You're only option at the moment is a commercial version of Unix
(MachTen or A/UX, unless you want to try to work with MacMiNT).
The IIfx is radically different (on the inside) than just about any
other Mac.  I think it represents one of Apple's more ingenious
ventures, but it's so different and undocumented that just about
every device driver would have to be (re-)written and some of the
lower-level interrupt processing would probably have to be modified
and/or customized.

Anyway, it's enough of a task that, if you're interested in just using
the system, I'd recommend getting/trading for another computer or running
one of the other OS's mentioned above.  :-(
