The Sparc will not need any such evil on its platter :-) This small fat partition is required iff you are using the AlphaBIOS on a DEC Alpha and you don't have the SRM console. I hated having that little bit of evil lurking on my hard disk so much that I took the risk and blew away the AlphaBIOS and loaded SRM into the EEPROM or NVRAM.
