I think that's an understandable user behavior.  Out of the box, the BBB 
drives an HDMI display, and I bet that's how most people initially test 
their new BBBs.

Then they fetch your image and put it on a micro SD card, and the HDMI 
screen remains dark, and they mail you a bug report ;-)

I looked through your blog and didn't see a mention of this change from 
the default behavior.  I bet just a quick note in your Quick Start 
(http://bb-lcnc.blogspot.com/p/machinekit_16.html) would go a long way.

"The HDMI won't work, use a serial console via this cable 
(http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=BeagleBone_Black_Accessories#Serial_Debug_Cables)
 
instead."
