FWIW, soekris 5501 (same SoC as alix 2d3) works ok with 7.7-release, so there's a high chance it is just due to this misconfiguration when installing. it is not a great machine to run recent OpenBSD on, though. reorder_kernel and library_aslr take forever on them. mine will be replaced when I can get up to the relevant datacentre.
