I have two boxes - Solaris 2.5.1/Sparc and FreeBSD. Are there any way
to read/write data from the same SCSI disk ? I mean to put data to disk
on one box, then read it on another (the resulting file must be identical
to original :-).

Unfortunately Solaris and FreeBSD can't mount ufs file systems, made by
another.
Probably it's possible to write data with dd then on another box read
it the same way. But for now i'm not sure that there are no such problem
as bit-order. Another trouble that Solaris and FreeBSD ever can't
understand drive partiotioning tables from another system and i can't find
appropriate device in Solaris to access "raw" disk without partitions.

Any suggestions ? TIA
