As I recall, Arthur W. Neilson III wrote:
This very functionality, being able to cat a directory, saved my butt some years ago on an unfamiliar sys5r2 box which had crashed and no filesystem but root would mount. ls wasn't in the path and I remembered I could use cat dirname as a crude ls in order to navigate. This helped me find fsck in an obscure directory and repair the hosed filesystems and recover the system.
If you've got a working shell, "echo *" will frequently work to navigate as well.
