CentOS - Jul 2010 - Boot from CD

I am running CentOS 5.5 and I want to create a boot CD so that if my 
boot partition is moved I can still boot from the boot CD and 
re-initialize grub again. Is there some easy to use utility which will 
enable me to do this ?

The first centos CD or DVD has a rescue mode, just type on the boot screen:

linux rescue

# mkbootdisk --device bootdisk.iso --iso `uname -r`
# cdrecord driveropts=burnfree -v speed=8 -gracetime=0 -sao \
