This indeed helps. Yay!

With hindsight, as it is now working, I might have made the partition bootable after configuring syslinux. The partition itself was marked as bootable and I didn't change this on my last (successful attempt).

Yes it is included in /media/usb/apks but not in /media/usb/cache, where the openssh apks reside.
But it's now working (see last mail). Is there a way to trace what is happening ? When exactly      
are the apks loaded during booting ?

Thanks for the help. Alpine is apparently running fine now on the machine.
