I noticed further on that form they take line 6 (zero in your case) and add back any distributions taken (line 7) and Roth conversions during the year (line eight) to yield line 9, which gets you back to your account balance before the Roth conversion.  Then line 9 is used as the denominator in the pro-rata calculation of what portion of your Roth conversion is nontaxable.
