The initrd is actually a cpio archive. The following forum thread should
get you going:

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-243612.html

I do remember seeing some FUSE gizmo that allowed you to mount and
interact with a cpio (or gzip / zip / etc) archive, however I can't
recall the name of it at the moment.
