In x86, there is even more space for a bootloader (some 28k or so) even if your partition table is as closely packed as possible, from 0 to 7e00 IIRC. For sparc you could have something like startlba endlba type sda1 0 2 1 Boot sda2 2 58 3 Whole disk sda3 58 90000 83 Linux and slap the bootloader into "MBR", just like on x86.
