What would it take to be able to mount a Sun disk drive (formatted and
partitioned on a Sun with a Sun filesystem) under NetBSD?  I tried
connecting one, and it didn't find the label.  Is it true that there
is also a byte-order problem?  Is this too horrible to contemplate?

"For thousands of years, [homoeopathic magic] was known to the sorcerors of
ancient India, Babylon and Egypt, as well as of Greece and Rome, and at this
day it is still resorted to by cunning and malignant savages in Australia, 
Africa and Scotland."  - J G Frazer, The Golden Bough
