Hello, I have an Alix 2d13 booting fine OpenBSD 5.5. If there is no error messages, maybe you just lost connection with serial line.
Did you set "set tty com0" at the boot prompt? I have this from my root tftp: $ cat ./etc/boot.conf set tty com0 boot bsd.rd The default alix work at 38400, but I set it to 9600 to be directly compatible with OpenBSD default. (but you can change it from boot.conf to run OpenBSD at 38400) Try to set "set tty com0" or change the speed rate.
