Last I checked, UMSDOS pseudo-root was broken in 2.6. I'm not sure, but
I know Matija has very little time to work on this. See this:
http://linux.voyager.hr/umsdos/
and note that there's no mention of 2.6.x, and the date is older than
2.6.0 kernels.

In the kernel.

Any boot loader will boot a UMSDOS root, but of course only when the
kernel itself can handle it. UMSDOS pseudo-root was broken in 2.4.x
until x=10.
