Looks like you installed Ubuntu on /dev/sda3. While you had (I assume)
/dev/sda4 set up as an extended partion, and /dev/sda6 as a logical.
What happened to /dev/sda5, /dev/sda2, and /dev/sda1 (I assume /boot).
Looks like you simply let Ubuntu take the defaults. The reason /dev/sda6
does not show up using df, is that it is not mounted on anything.
