Huh? My ALIX 2D13 works fine with 115200 - no quirks.
38400 is default but I don't think that a wrong baudrate would output 
anything at all except house numbers and grzmrf, especially not at 
high baudrates.

Did you, Aurelien use a quality CF-card? That is very important.
Is the power supply sound?
Even the 2D3 may be defective (rarely) and e.g. PC-Engines swaps them 
on warranty free.

Sorry I didn't upgrade to 5.4 yet.
I installed OpenBSD 5.3 onto the CF-card while it was connected to a 
MACbook Air via a USB-adaptor and used the network install. Then I 
inserted the CF-card into the ALIX 2D13 and booted. No problems.
See OBSD FAQ 14.17.3.

Maybe Aurelien, you want to try this before you send the board back to 
the supplier.

Good luck
