From the boot log, it looks like this portion from the init script failed:

ebegin "Mounting boot media"
nlplug-findfs $cryptopts -p /sbin/mdev ${KOPT_debug_init:+-d} \
	${KOPT_usbdelay:+-t $(( $KOPT_usbdelay * 1000 ))} \
	$repoopts -a /tmp/apkovls
eend $?

maybe specify debug_init on the kernel command line (not sure what the correct syntax is).

Your snippets above on how you invoke hyperkit are really hard to read, they seem to be missing line breaks...and there are two snippets and it's not clear which one produced the output or how you boot in general. The Alpine virt image is an iso, which you can't boot on HyperKit (unless it's an EFI ISO, which it does now seem to be)

from hyperkit.
