I think the question you should be asking is:  "Do the other OSes
support the T2000 hardware?".  NetBSD, for example, does not:

https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/sparc64/

On the other hand, OpenBSD does:

https://www.openbsd.org/sparc64.html

Debian Linux does, but SPARC may not be supported to the extent other
platforms are:

https://wiki.debian.org/Sparc64

So, as you can see, it's not about what the ALOM can do.  It's about
what the OS supports.  In short, you'll have to try whatever OSes
interest you and see how well they work.
