Hmmm. Well, you could use wget -R or somesuch to mirror the whole directory structure. Or you could use Nero (I think) or (and this is how I'd do it) an x86 Linux box to rip an ISO image of the CD. FTP that ISO image up to your Linux guest (possibly using split, md5sum, and cat to do it in smaller chunks if network reliability is an issue), then mount it with a -o loop option to the Linux guest, like "mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /tmp/db2.iso /mnt" .
