usb sticks should boot just fine grub; the kernel and initramfs on the ubuntu cd's will boot fine with grub; but you'll need to pass in the same magic parameters that the isolinux on the cd is if you want to boot into the ubuntu livecd environment (without them it tries to boot normally without the squashfs and unionfs stuff that casper provides).
