On any unix (hp-ux, linux and most others):

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/image.iso

replace the /dev/cdrom with your cdrom device. Optionally change the
blocksize with the "bs=...." option of `dd` to 1 MByte to get some speed
boost (the default is 512 or 1024 bytes...). Some implementations accept
'bs=1M', some accept 'bs=1024K', some only accept numbers with the
"bs=...." option. See `man dd` for details.

(btw: use the same for floppy images)
