Just grab the Minix command readfs.c (and whatever Minix-specific headers
it needs), and compile under uPort.  Then you should be able to read from
the raw disk device.

Disclaimer: I haven't tried this under uPort, but it works on a Vax (after
creating an image file of the raw disk and uploading).  If it works on
Minix on a PC, and BSD on a Vax, it ought to work under uPort!

Readfs should work without modification on any little-endian Unix box.
