   initrd.img is (normally?) a gzip compressed cpio archive, known by   
       $ file (PathtTo)/initrd.img   
   Example to extract all files/dirs tree in current dir:   
       $ gunzip -cd (PathTo)/initrd.img> | cpio -i -d -m -H newc --

   For succinct documentation, your friends are, on a slackware with manual pages:   
      $ man file   $ man cpio    $ man initrd for more details
