Yup.  You can't access FFS file systems on a machine with different
byte order.

That code would have to live in the FFS layer.  Or someone has to
factor out the byte order dependent operations and call appropriate
conversion routines through a function vector.

I hear NeXT is writing big-endian filesystems on all machines.
