Is that all that comes to mind? I just did
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=fs.img bs=1M count=2048
2048+0 records in

etc, etc.
And after that I could start a QEMU VM or an UserModeLinux kernel image,
passing this fs.img to it as a block device -- all while still being a regular
user, without needing root privileges.
