Duh - so how come I can read OS-9 formatted floppies on FBSD? I would have thought byte ordering on the disk to be of little relevance so long as the correct device driver with an understanding of the layout of the disk is loaded...? Anyway, SPARC Solaris (which I guess you mean, Mike) wouldn't run on an Intel arch processor! It's obvious he's trying a dual boot setup on one machine, so it must be Solaris x86 => no byte ordering problem, merely a format problem.
