I typically use syslinux (isolnux, extlinux, pxelinux, etc) to create
bootable portable media. I'm not sure you can accomplish this with just
grub. You should only need a new initrd if there are unsupported
filesystems or critical hardware drivers needed to boot.

There is plenty of documentation there to get you going.
