Well, ubd6 is the 7th block device, since you start from 0.
What do you mean by "in trouble"? Can you supply the command line (including 
any typo, please) and the output you get, and what shows that you are in 
trouble? And a "ls -l" on the files you need to access?

No, it always worked.

And it works here:

./vmlinux-2.6.11.8-bs5 ubd0=Sarge.rootfs ubd7=Sarge.swapfs 
ubd1=debian30r2.rootfs ubd2=woody.roo
tfs ubd3=slack10.rootfs ubd4=slack90.rootfs ubd5=toms.rootfs 
ubd6=slack90.swapfs

From the output:
 ubda: unknown partition table
 ubdb: unknown partition table
 ubdc: unknown partition table
 ubdd: unknown partition table
 ubde: unknown partition table
 ubdf: unknown partition table
 ubdg: unknown partition table
 ubdh: unknown partition table

And I've tested that it actually works (i.e. the UBD devices are accessible).
