  Use the "readcd" program that comes with the cdrecord/mkisofs package.  
The syntax is (from memory, so double-check this):

	readcd dev=/dev/sgfoo f=cdimage.iso

where "sgfoo" is the SCSI generic device, and "cdimage.iso" is the output
file.  The "dd" command may also work, but it can have trouble with CDs that
use some of the more esoteric features of the CD standards.
