I would just do it on FreeBSD - man mdconfig. Last I looked (years ago) the UFS 
support on linux was not actively maintained and I would be very surprised if 
they have UFS2 support. I've had to create my own root images for doing work on 
xen so I know it works just fine. If you insist on doing it on Linux, the 
command is losetup. 
to bind:
> losetup /dev/loop0 <root image> 
to unbind:
> losetup -d /dev/loop0
