It looks as if your ALIX booted through all stages and successfully
loaded the kernel /bsd, but fails to start this kernel. Maybe check
out http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#Boot386 , notably item 4.,
to help with diagnosis and repair.
Are you sure that the kernel /bsd on your CF card is ok? I would try
and replace it temporarily by /bsd from the current snapshot.
Also, I notice that your ALIX is still running BIOS 0.98. My own
experience from today showed that the GENERIC -current stock kernel
will fail at least ltaer on in the process when glxpcib detects the
AMD5536 PCI bridge and tries to start the hardware timer which is then
assigned to the watchdog. Upgrading the BIOS to the latest version
0.99 solved the problem for me just two hours ago, see my three
consecutive posts from earlier today.

Well, I finally got it booting. As suggested I upgraded the BIOS to
release 0.99 and configured the device to work at 9k6bps.
Now the problem is that it gets stuck just before having the login
prompt, after printing the date and time, any idea ?
Thanks again!

I've found this link and have to investigate a little more:
