Default linux on a sunfire V480R
Does anyone know of a distro that will actually work on one of these machines?

I've tried debian, ubuntu, and gentoo with varying degrees of failure, never managed to get to the installer on any of them.

Only thing that seems to work is openBSD.

Gentoo wouldn't work either, couldn't even get the download for centOS or slackware.
