I don't think they have designed much, at least not publically anyway,
merely built a kernel with some UML patches added, and put a few UML
utilities in the kernel-utils package. You can build yourself a mini
RedHat(ish) UML system by creating an ext3 partition inside a file and
adding packages until you have all the dependencies (eg. for kernel-uml)
resolved, which comes to something like 200MB, and then you can add
packages depending on what you need it for.

You don't run UML from grub. You run it inside a running system, and get a
system within a system. Think linux inside linux.
