	You can copy it as a CD image.  You can't do a logical copy say
to a RockRidge formated CD.  You literally copy from the raw device to
a huge image file and then use cdrecord to write it back up.  I think
XCD-Roast should handle it just fine.

	You can even do that with Sun partitioned CD's which have Sun/Solaris
file systems and partition tables on them.
