I just realized the real problem - that "disk is full" message is given on a tmpfs mount (with udev, /dev stays normally on tmpfs); the size limit of a tmpfs mount is by default the half of the available RAM. Uml by default picks 32M of RAM; try passing mem=64M (or even more). Some time ago, I couldn't boot a _real_ workstation with 64M of RAM, I went to 96M (for testing purposes, I was passing mem= to a real workstation).
