That was it! Excellent:
boot> stty com0 38400
boot> set tty com0
switching console to com0
Kernel boot now looks like this:
cannot open hd0a:/etc/random.seed: No such file or directory
booting hd0a:/6.4/i386/bsd.rd: 3111423+1360896+3362824+0+454656

CONGRATULATIONS! Your OpenBSD install has been successfully completed!
Thanks Theo for the tip and for all the work!

Strictly speaking the installer _asks_ you if you would like it to remember the setting for next time, which I find to be a nice touch as I may want to install a server using the serial console but run it without one.

First time you need to stty com0 set tty com0 then you can boot. The installer will remember this for next time, but our kernel does not know the speed so early on. > Quick question, should the PC Engines ALIX 2D13 work with 6.4?

alix 2d13 + 6.4: should it work?
Quick question, should the PC Engines ALIX 2D13 work with 6.4? Or is the hardware too old? Or (perhaps more likely :-)) did I screw up the installation process somehow? I created an install media (cf card) and boot functions but as the kernel is loading, the system reboots: PC Engines ALIX.2 v0.99m 640 KB Base Memory 261120 KB Extended Memory Waiting for HDD ... 01F0 Master 044A CF 8GB Phys C/H/S 15538/16/63 Log C/H/S 974/255/63 LBA Using drive 0, partition 3.
