1) You are asking for an impossibility. There is waaaay to much data to put
on a single CD.
2) There is much help on the internet (and the Ubuntu forums) for rebuilding
grub if you lose it. Read up...
(and some of that info has been presented right here in response to your
questions)
Learn grub and you can probably find a solution that would fit on either a
floppy or a CD. I used to make myself a bootable floppy but haven't done so
in years because it is very easy to fix grub using live cd's.
