I had the same problem while using a serial to usb adapter with prolific chipset. Only "19200 8N1 HW off" worked for me both at minicom and Windows Hyperterminal. The booting process should work anyway. Even when the console shows only rubbish the system should finish the booting process. You can verify this by sniffing the network traffic of vr0 (eth0). You'll see DHCPDISCOVER requests from the ALIX Board. If you can't see the DHCPDISCOVER requests you have an issue with your image.
