Yes, it works fine on 060.
The only bigger issue I know of is partitions above 4GB. I played with
sending SCSI commands, but that doesn't work with SCSI emulation on IDE
drives above 4GB.

I'm using a second boot partition for that. :)
If one has never setup amiga-lilo it's likely to be a big help, I think
it can be even any affs partition, as one will at least get a shell
prompt.
Maybe parted could be utilizied to help with setting this up correctly...
