supermin?  http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/supermin/

It already exists on Fedora, Debian & Ubuntu, although it
may be known there by its former name of febootstrap.

Try:

  cd /tmp
  mkdir supermin.d
  supermin -o supermin.d --names bash
  supermin-helper -f ext2 supermin.d `uname -m` ./kernel ./initrd ./appliance
  qemu-kvm -m 256 -kernel ./kernel -initrd ./initrd -hda ./appliance \
    --append "init=/bin/bash root=/dev/hda"

(Substitute 'febootstrap' for 'supermin' and 'febootstrap-supermin-helper'
for 'supermin-helper', if using febootstrap 3.x)

Rich.
