Bootable CD

The problem is the contents of bootable CD's can't be read with normal editor because of this is structured by block files.

Thanks

To view the directory data in the bootsection of the CD:

lifls -l /dev/dsk/

To extract a particular file from the lif area:
lifcp /dev/dsk/:FILE .

then view with editor of choice:
FILE

Already done.
The problem is not to access the CD but how to read the block files inside !
