The first four bytes are the magic numbers telling which flash fs this 
might be.

00000000 46 66 73 23


#define CRAMFS_MAGIC    0x28cd3d45


I did a search for those numbers and couldn't find any reference to this 
anywhere. Try doing "file <your-mtd-dump-file> this might give more 
information

for eg:

->file test.cramfs.img
test.cramfs.img: Linux Compressed ROM File System data, little endian 
size 65536 version #2 sorted_dirs CRC 0xf23fc956, edition 0, 46 blocks, 
16 files.
