Can you run grub or lilo on these machines?
The equivalent loader is called MILO for SPARC and Yaboot for PowerPC. The BIOS equivalent is called OpenFirmware and provides a helper API for mode setting and graphics card initialisation.
There are comments in the drivers which mark other than the default modes as TODO (e.g. 'these are somewhat sane defaults for Mac boards, we will need to find a good way of getting these from OpenFirmware'), I don't know whether they are rooted in missing docs or in technical troubles communicating with the OpenFirmware.
