There is support for reading SPARC VTOCs in Linux. It is in the kernel source file /fs/partitions/sun.c

As exists Linux version for SPARC, it must be supported.
Question is if it is supported in case of x86, maybe it is possible the only witch SPARC version of kernel.
Not sure, just suggestion.

This code is used in both SPARC and x86 builds and is handling endianness (be_16to_cpu Linux/fs/partitions/sun.c ). As I wrote, I didn't tested it but reading the code, I see no reason for it not to work on x86, especially as it has been there for more than 15 years.
