I would suggest you to use squashfs instead of cramfs.

First, it's newer, it's better, it's actively developed, it doesn't have any limits like the bad cramfs.
Moreover, it currently supports both endians. 

(hurry up, as kernel people said in the past that squashfs should NEVER EVER support multiple endians, so the feature will be dropped from squashfs, in order to get it into mainline kernel more easily; if my informations are correct).
