Sadly, this is due to the fact that sparc64 is big endian, and our UFS
implementation isn't bi-endian...  If you need to make a UFS file system
on amd64 for use on sparc64, use the makefs utility w/ the option -B big
to create it...

Just ran into the same issue on an EdgeRouter Lite, which is a big
endian MIPS64 machine...

Though I'm a bit surprized that it happens w/ ZFS as ZFS is suppose
to support either endianness automaticly..  Did you try this on raw
disks?
