To read the files on the rescue disk (which is a FAT filesystem):

mount -o loop -t msdos rescue.bin /mnt

To read the files on the root disk (which is a compressed ext2 filesystem)

Backup file:   cp root.bin temp_root.bin.gz
decompress:    gunzip temp_root.bin.gz
mount:         mount -o loop -t ext2 temp_root.bin /mnt
