Is the Alpha FFS format compatible with the i386 format?  Specifically, is 
the endieness the same, and do the 64-bit/32-bit pointers make a difference?

I. e. if I wanted to build a filesystem to set up a NetBSD/Alpha machine, 
could I do it successfully on a NetBSD/i386 machine and just move the drive 
over?  (I don't have OSF/1 for the machine -- it came with Windows NT.)

I guess getting the right boot blocks on the disk could be tricky.
