The short answer is "who says it has to be a bootable CD image?". There
are plenty of USB-based linux images out there... just use one of those.
Slightly longer answer: If it's a syslinux-like CD, dd the mbr.bin to
the stick, and copy the rest of the contents to the 1st partition. That
should do it.*
* Haven't tested, but that should be the +/- the way of doing it.
