cramfs:wrong magic

[Vidya Srinivas]

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the support.

Actually it was a problem  regarding the endianness.
My system was a big endian system and i am supposed to create a cramfs
image for a big endian system (-rb option). One more person Mr. Fillod
Stephane helped me out.

Thanks again.

Regards,
Vidya
