Any time the kernel notices a new block device, it scans it to
determine if it has a partition table.  In your case, if you just had
"ubda=/opt/uml/disk" and made partition #1 the root partition and #2
the swap partition, the UML kernel would set up /dev/ubda1 and
/dev/ubda2, instead of /dev/ubda and /dev/ubdb as you do now.

That being said, don't do that and just ignore those warnings.  Right
now you can just mount /opt/uml/root_fs loopback on the host if you
want to.  If the file on the host had a partition table on it, you
instantly make it 100x harder to work with on the host, since most
loopback tools don't understand the concept of a partition table.
