Much easier method:
1) extend the root_fs-i386 file to the desired size:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1k count=1 seek={$size-1} of=root_fs-i386
where {$size-1} is how many KB you want the file to be minus one (for the
one block dd will write, i.e. 1048575 for a 1GB file.
2) resize2fs root_fs-i386
If step 2 decides not to work (dunno what older versions of e2fstools will
support), just
losetup /dev/loop0 root_fs-i386
resize2fs /dev/loop0
losetup -d /dev/loop0
Of course like all such proceedures you should make a backup copy of
root_fs-i386 somewhere safe before you go screwing with the file ;-)
