Try http://www.jailtime.org or http://www.xen-get.org

(xen-get.org is a pain, you pretty much have to 'view xml feed' for one of 
the mirrors, then cut-and-paste the .tar.gz file location, but after that, 
you just untar the tarball on a filesystem of your choice and you are 
done.)

oddly, the jailtime.org images mount fine as a NetBSD file-backed 
VBD device, so you don't even need to dirty up your NetBSD box with the 
ext2 tools.    Just remember to copy /lib/modules from wherever you 
compiled your linux kernel to your DomU
