I cannot find an answer to this anywhere.
If you take a bbb wireless out of the box, plug in an hdmi and plug in a power cable, is it supposed to boot into linux? It seems like it ships with a linux distro already flashed, but I can't find any sign of it. My 1080p monitor just shows a black screen, no noise, flickering, or anything. The pamphlet in the box seems to imply it should, but the "getting started" tutorial says nothing on the matter.
I tried flashing the latest kernal but the bb just seems to hang and never finish (i left is flashing for 6 hours). Also the wiki gives linux commands to adjust in ordere to force it to flash on boot, but without any sort of video output, im not sure how I am supposed to edit the settings. I'm usually pretty technically adept, but this thing has got me stumped.
