I am a Suse fan myself...but we have a Sparc 20 at work that I put Redhat on
just because I could get my hands on the ISO. The install was simple... It
went just like an x86 install... (Hoping you have a cdrom) When the machine
starts to boot, If I remember correctly, hold down ctrl-a and then type in
boot=cdrom.
There should be plenty of texts on the web to double check... It's been
about a year since I messed with it... :)

ps. It's a slow booter...but once the services are up and running it runns
as smooth as a baby's bottom... :)
