Assuming that the kernel (named vmlinuz here, known as linux26 on
the live-cd) and grml's initrd (named minirt26.gz here and on the
live-cd) are available in the boot-directory of your usb-stick try
the following menu.lst entry:

title   Grml minirt
kernel  /boot/vmlinuz ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us usb apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=minirt26.gz nomce
initrd  /boot/minirt26.gz
boot
