In principle it is normal that it blacks out. The backlight will be off, but under the right conditions you could see that some linux boot messages are shown. Leave it for a while it takes long to boot. When you still see nothing you could try to push the power button short and see if it wakes up and the lock screen is shown.

I would suggest maybe try to boot the image by loading the kernel through the flasher or read the device N900 category from maemo leste wiki and compare it with your steps you have done.
