I got a HDMI cable and found out that when it boots, the lights near the mini USB come on in sequence but nothing ever shows up on the HDMI screen. I made using the procedure on this page: http://blog.machinekit.io/p/machinekit_16.html Starting at :Write the SD Card I'm using Linux 12.04 to create the uSD card. I'm using a Sandisk Class 4 uSD - 8 gigabytes in size. The HDMI cable is good since I can boot the BBB without the uSD and it boots properly. But I did notice when running the script that a few errors pop up saying it can't recognize a file type and it can't write to the root directory. I have a sudo in the front of the script command line. Although the completed card appears to have a root with files in it, etc. Nothing obvious is out of place. Perhaps I am missing some dependencies on the Linux 12.04 box? The uSD card creation script runs to completion. Anything obvious come to mind? If not, I'll attach a TTL to USB cable and see what a terminal window says when it boots. I have a Linux 10.04 box also that I can try and use to create the uSD card.
