Huh? Is that on a serial console or a monitor? The machine will default
to serial if it doesn't find a keyboard, and it should spew POST
messages on the serial port if it somehow ended up in diagnostic mode.
If you do have keyboard & monitor hooked up try holding Stop-N while
powering up ( and keep holding until the screen lights up ) in order to
override any weird NVRAM settings.

have fun
