There are a number of filesystems available from the UML world.  It's fairly 
easy to
(loop) mount them, make the changes to fstab, and then copy the entire tree into
where ever you run your domUs from...

http://uml.linode.com (u-m-l.sf.net mirror, a few oldies but goodies)
http://uml.linode.com/root_fs.rh-9-full.pristine.20030724.bz2
ftp://ftp.express.org/pub/uml/fedora-core1-server-uml20040129.tar.bz2

Red Hat 9 will boot on a 2.6 kernel, just watch out for the /lib/tls issue.
