Why don't you just use that then?  It shouldn't be that hard to find and install on Ubuntu.

Is this just making an ISO with the kernel and initrd on it?  Proably SYSLINUX will do that for you. 
  Though it's fancy so it isn't quite as easy as one command.  But if you figure out a recipe it 
would probably be easy to reuse.

Oh, the isolinux part of SYSLINUX supports isohybrid.  So if you find instructions for building a 
USB drive that way you can boot it as a CD too.
