AFAIK, You'll have to boot from OS 9 to get at those files.
By decree of L'Jobs, the new PowerBooks cannot boot OS 9.
Of course, you'll need to find a machine other than your PB to do it.
That doesn't help read CDs on the road -- which is the point of buying a PB instead of a PM.
How about installing Yellow Dog Linux (or some other Linux) on a small partition, then Mac-on-Linux on it, and then OS 9 inside? I know it's probably very uncomfortable, and requires rebooting, but at least it's something to begin with.
(Mac-on-Linux does not work natively on Mac OS X yet... although people are working on it.)
