dfsbuild is a Sarge package. I have not tried it, but it produces a
grub-booting CD ISO for you to burn:
Debian From Scratch (DFS) is a live bootable CD that is designed to
provide a fully-featured kernel and a fully-featured rescue environment.
The rescue environment contains filesystem tools, editors, C development
environment, etc.
