Which lead to the solution to that problem.   I had "console=ttyS0,9600 
console=tty1,38400" on the kernel command line

Its headless, so there is no tty1.


Now Alpine boots, and hangs detecting hardware:


sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't 
support DPO or FUA
  sda: sda1
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk
ok.
  * Mounting boot media: ok.
  * Installing packages to root filesystem: -[####################]- 100%ok.


    OpenRC 0.6.1.562d570 is starting up Linux 2.6.35.10-grsec (i586)
