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...

That's were the development for the Amiga support is a little stuck.
The latest release version from me is at
