I had a look at that about a year ago - there are many articles on how to uncompress/mount/view your initrd.img - just beware that you want the latest ones because the older ones do not apply to the latest initrd tools. Google should help you out. :) Basically, look up how initrd.img is created - well, actually initramfs these days - and you can spend some time looking through the mkinitramfs scripts too. It wasn't too complicated - but I just can't remember exactly how I did it now. :( Oh - since you need to mount things via the loopback device, you need to do these operations as 'root'.
