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.
