If you have a 23-->15 pin adaptor, connect this one to a PC screen. You should be able to see the screen on this, but you might still need to press a key to switch the screenmode.
If you have a BVision graphics card, try to connect this to the BPPC. This will definately show the boot menu of the BPPC (in case you hook up the PC screen to the BVision VGA lead :-)
