Thanks to: Rich Teer, Carsten B. Knudsen, Bernd Schemmer, Tim Chipman, Darren Dunham, Jason LeDuc, vincent@cojot.name. There is no practical way to move the disk with the data intact. Rich and Bernd summed it up most succinctly: Rich: "You'll have to do a dump and restore, because the on-disk UFS format is not compatibile between SPARC (big endian) and x86 (little endian). The disk itself should be OK, but you won't see the data." Bernd: "IMHO that is not possible due to the different architectures of x86 and SPARC (little-endian versus big-endian) You must backup the data, repartition the disk and restore the data." Dunham points out that: "The anticipated release of ZFS should change this in the future (will be cross-architecture compatible), but doesn't help you today." Thanks to all for your help.
