It actually isn't an endianess thing -- both are little endian.  One
would only only mount the 'c' partition partition in the past -- which
really meant one could see the partition starting at 0 ('a' if bootable
disk).  I guess it is possible that GEOM in 5.2.1 would allow one to
mount any partition of an Alpha disk on i386...
