I tried the -386 kernel package. I no longer get "cramfs: wrong magic". 
The boot hangs at about the same point. The disk light is off. The last 
lines of the boot post are:

Partition check:
 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: [EZD] [remap 0->1] [700/255/63] p1 
p2 <p5>
 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0: [PTBL] [2491/255/63] p1 p2 p3 p4 <p5 
p6 p7>
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly
change-root: old root has d_count=2
Freeing unused kernel memory: 184k freed

I tried to rebooting six times. On two of the attempts, the bootup 
messages ended during the partition check of the second drive with 
"/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0:"
Once it ended with "/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0: [PTBL] 
[2491/255/63] p1 p2 p3 p4 <p5 p6 p7>"
The other three times I got the bootup messages from VFS and change-root.
