Hey Alex, I've done a little testing with a similar setup. I just fired up a farm with a single rails instance, then went to "Roles->Add new", and created a new custom role based on the running rails instance. Once the new role was available, I fired it up, installed postgres, configured everything and did a "Synchronize All". That left me with a postgres/rails combo server. You can install whatever software you want, and configure it any way that you want to, so sphinx or solr shouldn't be a problem.
You may already be aware, but just in case, any data that you change on your instance must be saved by doing a "Synchronize All" or you will loose your changes. Also I think that the /mnt partition is the ephemeral storage and will always be lost upon relaunch/reboot. (Somebody correct me if that's wrong.) You'll probably want to hook up an ESB volume to get some persistent storage. I'm currently trying to get a robust postgres installation figured out (proper backups, fail over, SNMP traps, etc...). When I have something working reasonably well I'll figure out how to share the details.
