Hi,

Was just going to add:

This was my first stop before doing anything with the BBB.

At the moment you must have a serial console attached to the serial
pins as with the 3.11.x kernel we don't have USB/HDMI support. Without
a serial console it will sit on the console awaiting input  to create
a user and to set a root password.
