Why ? I surely did miss something here ...
Or maybe you meant 'port' instead of 'os' ?
In which case this is true, but it's because of differences in the
on-disk disklabel format (dependant on firmware).
If your media doesn't have a disklabel no problems (I to this between my
i386 and sparc, NetBSD supports byte-swapped FFS). If your media is partitioned
then you have to put an in-core disklabel matching its partitioning before
mouting it.
