What happens is that you build your application and you end up with an 
executable that has the operating system in it.
There are some examples built when you first build RTEMS -- one of them 
is ticker. I will use this example for how to boot your PC with it. This 
is the way I do it and have found that it is the easiest to use. Others 
may disagree, but each to his/her own

First, make a Dos bootable floppy.
Second, search for the file called "ticker.exe" and copy it to the floppy
Next, download eXtender from
http://freedos-32.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
Unzip it and copy the file to the floppy disk. The file is called "x.exe"

Boot your PC with the floppy. You should be at the dos prompt.
Start the RTEMS program by typing at the command prompt
x ticker.exe

The Ticker example should boot.

Warmest regards
