Thanks! I tried the "new azbooka usbboot" (version 1.4b), but that didn't have such a command either. So I hacked up a driver and a parser for the USBboot hex dumps. (Scripting languages rock). I intend to document the process on the OpenInkpot wiki.

It took upwards of 2 hours to dump the root filesystem, but it will be worth it for my peace of mind. I don't want to install a slightly different version of the vendor firmware, and then find that it breaks because they changed the hardware or something.
