Yes, but...

The documentation for 'ubd' on the website says:

   Inside UML, if you are not using devfs, the devices are accessible
   with minor numbers 0, 16, ..., with the other minor numbers being
   used for partitions. So, the device that is ubd1 on the UML command
   line becomes /dev/ubd16 inside UML.

Now, on my system /dev/hdb is

brw-rw----    1 root     disk       3,  64 Apr 11  2002 /dev/hdb

whereas the block device you want has major,minor 3,16.  So try looking
for it on /dev/hda16:

brw-rw----    1 root     disk       3,  16 Apr 11  2002 /dev/hda16

Likewise you'll probably find /dev/hdb1 on /dev/dha17, and so on.
