Exactly. My mistake earlier to assume cramfs was "compressed ramfs"! ;-)
I should compare it to the tar.gz option and JFFS2. Will do in the next
evaluation.
This will be more of a replace initrd+custom /linuxrc with a
CRAMFS-based rootfs on a flash device assuming CRAMFS can be directly
read by kernel\init for getting the rootfs. Ditto for JFFS2

Also, the platform is PPC, IBM 405GP to be precise.
