Why do you care about the ALOM?  I'd try installing onto a disk on
another machine, then moving it into the V215.  If it refuses to boot
because the disk or its contents have been changed, _then_ you may have
to give up on making it useful, but it seems to me that's worth at
least trying.

Are you sure it's a SPARC?  My Sun Fire is actually x86.
