Are you sure? I accessed a Solaris-2.4/Sparc Partition from
NetBSD/sparc read/write and the result was a superblock that Solaris
didn't recognize anymore. Someone explained me what happend, something
about some additional information in Solaris' superblock that NetBSD
didn't knew about, but I didn't save the answer, sorry.
