Do you know how to create journal with BE internal structures? Or have
you examples of journal with such structures? I haven't such examples.
And I can't see such opportunities in newfs_hfs tool. So, I don't think
that Journal header and block lists can be not little-endian. I can't
implement or test something unreal. Could you share the way of creation
HFS+ journal with big-endian Journal header and block lists?

Thanks,
