I put a SCSI disk originally formated, partitioned, and loaded with data
on a SPARC machine, into a X86 machine I just installed NV b74 on.
When I run format, I see the disk in the list, and select it, but when I
go to check the partition table, format tells me to go run fdisk first.
Won't

Ok. But is there any way to get at the data that is on this disk right
now from X86 Solaris?

Thanks for the info... I'm off to track down a SPARC machine.
As another option, I think Linux UFS implementation has endian

Really, Will it be ok with no FDisk partition? and will it be able to
use the SPARC vtoc to find the UFS partition?
Not sure, what I would do is boot up a livecd and try mounting various
/dev/sd* devices.

I think I'll try Caspers tools first, but if they
So basically I'm looking for an higher end Ultra 2 or Ultra 5 or newer.
Ok. Thanks!
If you can dd the disk image, I can probably provide you with some tools
to find the ddiskpartition and to convert (fsck needed) the partitions
to x86 format.

UDF and FAT are also endian neutral, aren't they.
