The manual ( http://pcengines.ch/pdf/alix2.pdf ) says
"Set terminal emulator to 38400 8N1" on page 9, so 
having 38440 in both /etc/boot.conf and /etc/ttys,
and indeed using 38400 in minicom/tip/whatever
should give you no problems.

My ALIX2c3 works just right using 38400 - starting with the BIOS
messages, the boot> prompt works, even the rotating / appears right.

It's IMHO the 0.99 BIOS that made the difference for you.
