Yes. I have:

setenv OSLoader arcboot
setenv OSLoadFileName linux
setenv SystemPartition scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(8)
setenv OSLoadPartition scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(2)

mips@root:~{8}# dpkg -l arcboot
[..]
ii  arcboot        0.3.3 bootloader for SGI/MIPS IP22 machines

mips@root:~{9}# arcboot /dev/sda
mips@root:~{10}# more /etc/arcboot.conf

and when I boot with arcboot I have:
