I just compiles myself a new fBSD4.4 kernel, and there was a 'parallel bus' there - I don't have any parallel devices (whatever happened to Centronics, I still have printer cables that take a Centronics in each end)
Have you tried FreeBSD?
It seems a shame not to be able to run an OS just for that reason!
FreeBSD can also, at least in theory, read ext2, so you don't need a new partition or anything (eh, I think my pants are on fire)
- but you could give it a try - use MFS or something as rootdev?

pkg2du
pkg2du(1M) System Administration Commands pkg2du(1M)
NAME
pkg2du - convert driver packages to Driver Update format
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/pkg2du [-f] [-v] [-d dir] [-o iso] [-l label]
[-r release] pkg [pkg ...]
DESCRIPTION
The /usr/bin/pkg2du utility takes one or more packages as input and converts them to Driver Update (DU) format. If the -d option is speci-
fied, the resulting DU directory tree is placed in the directory dir. If the -o option is specified, a Solaris ISO image of the DU direc-
tory tree is written in the file iso. The ISO image can be burned onto CD/DVD using cdrw(1) or cdrecord(1) (not a SunOS man page) and used
during Solaris installation.
At least one of the -d and -o options must be specified. If both are specified, then both an ISO image and a directory tree are generated.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d dir
Directory where the DU directory should be created.
-o iso
Create a Solaris ISO image of the DU directory.
-f
If dir/DU or iso exists, remove it without asking first.
-l label
Label/volume name of the ISO image (if -o option is specified).
-r release
Solaris release number to use. It takes the form of the return from uname -r command, for example, 5.10. If unspecified, the release
number of the currently running Solaris is used.
-v
Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
pkg [pkg...]
One or more packages to be converted to DU format.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Creating a DU CD/DVD
The following commands create a DU CD or DVD containing packages SUNWfoo and SUNWbar.
# /usr/bin/pkg2du -r 5.10 -o my.iso SUNWfoo SUNWbar
# /usr/bin/cdrw -i my.iso
