Thank you Chris,
I tried to do as you said.
First of all I get two different results depending on the PC I am using for.
If I try to do linux ubdc=/dev/sda on my 32 bit CPU notebook I get
something good then before.
ubdc is now recognized by UML and I can now hope to use my pen drive.
At the moment, the only problem I have, is that UML can't mount the
USB pen-drive because it has some filesystem trouble.
Anyway I see some progress... thanks to you....
Below are reported some output messages produced after my attempts:

During my mount attempts:
~# mount /dev/ubdc1 /mnt/pendrive/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/ubdc1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/ubdc1,

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

I get these errors on the main boot shell:

If I do the same attempt on my AMD64 i get only a kernel panic..
