The problem is, the part in the kick 1.4 ROM that loads the kickstartfile from disk uses an instruction that is illegal for an 68040/68060. So a machine with kick 1.4 and 040/060 simply wouldn`t do anything.


I see, but surely Blizkick would work ok?


No.  The bootstrap ROM doesn't work with the 040/060 MMU.  
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

That's assuming you can even get to the boot screen with the 040/060 enabled.  In my limited experience you get a yellow screen at startup.  But, that may have been something with the Mercury 040 I had.

Maybe my experience was a black screen as well.  All I remember is it didn't work.  (It's been 12+ years since I tried)
