Hello list & happy new year, due to some problems with a x86 machine I got here I have the problem of accessing data on one of its hard discs. The machine runned OpenBSD 4.2, and its first (system) HD died. I have a 500GByte SATA drive connected to it on a dedicated controller, which contains a lot of my data.
As I need to access it ASAP, I thought of connecting it to my G4 Power Mac, after I built in the Promise SATA HBA that was used in the PC (this device will be operatable under OpenBSD as there's a driver for it; however, the machine wouldn't be able to boot off of it, but that's not needed anyways). Now my question: The x86 machine is little endian, the PowerPC is big endian. Is there a chance to have access to my data or will it all be 'upside down' (or, even worse, would I destroy the disklabel)? Thanks, Seth
