Solaris 9 supports FDDI! The only thing is, you need to add a line to 
the /etc/system file:

set sunddi_netifname_constraints=0

After adding that line, it should use FDDI with no problems.

This is of course unless Sun officially pulled FDDI from the later 
releases (I'm using one of the earlier Sol9 releases), but I kind of 
doubt that.
