I want to write a program which creates, starts and stops virtual
machines on demand.

To start and stop is no problem but to create one.

I've started to work with files but I can't partitionate a file with
fdisk. The bootloader is copied by dd and also the fs. But to get a full
working MBR I need a partition table there.

If I find a solution I can easy configure a new system on demand via
debootstrap and other tools.
