> Was this with current RTEMS sources? 

Not completely current, it was a snapshot from two or three months ago.
I haven't grabbed the most recent snapshot yet.

> Did you try the networking out or anything else?

No, I got to the point where I could load hello world and went to bed. This 
was kind of an after hours project.
I'll try to grab the latest snapshot tonight and see what else runs.
I think the NE2000 support should be good enough that networking will work, 
but there will be a little trickery involved getting it to talk to the same 
machine on which the emulator is running.  I'll try to remember to write down 
what I do so that everyone doesn't have to go dig through the documentation.

> Are there any special instructions or configuration files one needs?

Not really, there is a configuration file you have to set up, but it is 
configured with defaults that mostly make sense.
I happened to have an RTEMS hello world boot floppy lying around, so I stuck 
it in my drive, made sure the configuration file pointed to /dev/fd0 for the 
floppy, and was set to boot from floppy instead of ATA controller, and it just 
worked.  After that I made an image of the floppy (dd if=/dev/fd0 
of=grub_boot.img ), and changed the configuration file so the emulator floppy 
pointed to ~/grub_boot.img, and that worked the same.  
Using the loop option with mount, I could even mount the image file and edit 
it like a physical floppy, so it was really convenient.
