Even if you got SPARC to use PC partitioning, you can't get a SPARC to read i386 filesystems ... the byte sex bites again (UFS/FFS is based on a large number of structures, which are asuumed to never be needed in anything other than processor byte order). About the only way I can think of is to use something like tar to dump to the EZ135 catridge like a tape and cart that back and forth (since tar is a byte stream, no byte sex problems).
