Nor spoil it for others. I'll stick to the CD + USB stick.

I don't. That is, I couldn't find my notes. I did find my notes for
"remastering" with only modifying the "boot files":
http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Trivial_remaster_3.8.2#A_.22modified_boot_files.22_version
IIRC, there were two main changes for booting with grub:
1 - create a /boot/grub/menu.lst file (similar to isolinux.cfg)
2 - specify grub instead of isolinux for the bootloader when building
the image
If I find my notes I'll post them.

Yup. See above link. What's nice about grub is that you can edit the
parameters at boot time.
