I don't have a cyberstorm but do have a Blizzard 040/PPC which I am running
DU on now (my 060 system died). Apart from being a bit slower due to using
an 040 rather than an 060 DU runs the same as before.

DU does not use the PPC so it may be a problem with your 68060.library and
dummy 68040.library. If the CStorm is like the Blizzard then these
libraries are in the flashROM and the ones in libs: are ignored. I was
fooled by that for a while. Updating your Flashrom may help if your 060
libraries are old.

One way to check if it is an FPU problem is to see if you get the same
problem with the non-FPU version of DU.
