UBCD uses the SYSLINUX package (specifically ISOLINUX) to boot to the
menu and load all its modules. I have not tested this, but it may be
possible to download and run the SYSLINUX scripts directly under *BSD to
create an 'empty' usb stick that just boots to a dummy menu. If that
works, you can then just cp the config and modules from the UBCD ISO
onto your stick afterwards and be good to go. (SYSLINUX, ISOLINUX and
PXELINUX all spawn an identical environment, so you can literally copy
and paste stuff between them).
Alternatively it may be possible to just dump the contents of the ISO to
a directory and use the SYSLINUX scripts to make a new hybrid ISO from
that. I have a feeling this might not work though, since there has to be
a reason UBCD didn't just use this feature themselves.
