Last I check (a while ago) the first three partitions had that (Redboot, 
kernel, ramdisk).  I think the whole thing was around 4-5MB.  All you 
need to do is "dd" /dev/mtdblock0 1 and 2.

You could then tarball up the binary images.

You'd just be missing the information in the eeprom.

It really depends on how serious you are about capturing all the state 
data.  There's also a partition at the end of flash that has the Redboot 
partition information and command line stuff.
