Not sure how you would mount one, but to see what's in it
just rearrange your commands a little like this:
> cd ~
> mkdir temp
> cd temp
> mkdir initrd
> cd initrd
gunzip < /boot/initrd-version.img |cpio -i --make-directories
ls

incidentally, the initrd is created by /sbin/mkinitrd
which is a shell script, so you can read this to find
out what it does *exactly*
