It works on my Sam 460LE.

It may be your graphics card..

Make sure it's compatible with MorphOS!

make sure to follow morphOS instructions.. from the morphOS page

ACube Sam460

The Sam460 supports installation both via CDROM and via SD card inserted into the internal SD card slot of the Sam460. We recommend installing from CD where possible.

via CD

    Turn on your Sam460.
    When prompted to do so by the firmware, press enter on the keyboard to activate the boot selection menu.
    When the boot selection menu appears, press enter again to activate the boot device menu. From this menu either choose '3x12 SATA DVD' or '3114 SATA DVD' depending on which SATA controller your optical drive is connected to. If you are not sure, then try first the one and then the other.
    Press enter to confirm your choice in the boot device menu, then escape and enter again to select 'boot this configuration'.
    MorphOS will now start booting. Once it is done booting, follow the on-screen instructions.

via SD card

    Download morphos-3.17-hybrid.hdimg.
    Write morphos-3.17-hybrid.hdimg to an SD card directly as a disk image.
    Insert the SD card into your Sam460's internal SD card slot.
    Turn on your Sam460.
    When prompted to do so by the firmware, press enter on the keyboard to activate the boot selection menu.
    When the boot selection menu appears, press enter again to activate the boot device menu. From this menu choose 'USB HD'.
    Press enter to confirm your choice in the boot device menu, then escape and enter again to select 'boot this configuration'.
    MorphOS will now start booting. Once it is done booting, follow the on-screen instructions.

not sure..
okay then..
do you have another card (on the list) to try?

Because:
the card may be bad?
   since u-boot sees the card and works Maybe not
   does OS4 work?
the cable might be bad?
   BTW which cable are you using? I use dvi to dvi!
   does morphOS support hdmi? I don't know.

the graphics card report may not show because..
   see (d)

One last idea..

Try the install on a fresh drive with the OS4 drive dis-connected

good luck,
