[Sorry if this is a dup; got a weird bounce error from hub.freebsd.org:

I have a bunch of MO disks with filesystems on them, written on Solaris 2.5.

I can attach the drive to my 4.0 system, it is recognised at boot time, and I
can dd the device, but I can't mount the FS ("incorrect super block").  I am
assuming this is because superblock (and inode!) on-disk structures are in
machine byte order (or different sizes/layouts, etc).

Any clues about ways around this?  Hacks on ufs code to read Solaris partitions?
