New realtek based Netgear device - How to determine correct uimage-magic

For Developers
1

I'm attempting to add support for the Netgear GS308T to the realtek target. This device is very similar to the Netgear GS108Tv3, but apparently it uses a different UIMAGE-MAGIC. After I upload the initramfs image via tftp I get the following response when attempting to boot with bootm:

RTL838x# bootm
Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!

Any advice on how to determine the necessary uimage-magic would be greatly appreciated!

Look at the 4 first bytes of a stock image.
