What you are searching for is the jail facility. Just do a man jail and
you're done.

User mode linux is much more than just sand-boxing device. For one
thing, it can be used to debug kernel code.

There was a neat paper at BSDCon 2003 discussing running usermode FreeBSD
on Linux, and it talked about what would be necessary to make usermode
FreeBSD run on FreeBSD.  You can find the paper off the USENIX web site,
or perhaps via Google.  I think it was a relatively small set of changes.

I think this is it ->
http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/bsdcon03/tech/eiraku/eiraku_html/

They used NetBSD, and modified it's ptrace() in a pretty minor fashion.
They also hacked out the BIOS calls from a FreeBSD 4.7 to make it easier to 
run (they don't have a VM8086 emulator :)

This is some pretty neat stuff!
