You can't attach different files to different partitions *directly*. I talked about this, but I meant something different; you need to fool UML, via DeviceMapper.* If you have two files, you say ubd0=file1 ubd1=file2 on the cmd line; then, you can use fdisk on /dev/ubd0 or ubd1 to partition it and use it like a normal drive. * You would "losetup" the two files, splice them together via DeviceMapper (doing something much like RAID linear mode, i.e. creating a virtual device appending them together) and pass UML the RAID device. Actually it's more complicated - you need to prepend a sector on which to host the partition table, and fill it in. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
