Hmm, this patch doesn't seem to apply to my fairly recent
linuxppc_2_4_devel tree.  identify_ramdisk_image() for instance
is in init/do_mounts.c, not drivers/block/rd.c, and there is a
#define BUILD_CRAMDISK in there I guess relating to cramfs, though
I'm not sure what it's doing.

Hmm, this patch doesn't seem to apply to the mkcramfs I got from
sourceforge yesterday.

Thanks, just the same.
