OK, I'll try that to see if I can figure out what's going on.  Here's
some additional info though.  When I use the grub kernel command to
load hello.exe from the grub disk in the contrib directory (the one that
works), I get the response:

[NetBSD-a.out, loadaddr=0x100000, text=0xf970, C, data=0xb20, bss=0xd28,
entry=0x100000]

when I load the hello.exe that I get from my RTEMS build (the one that
doesn't work), I get:

[Multiboot-elf, <0x100000:0x18fc4:0x2768>, shtab=0x11c140,
entry=0x10000c]

so the executable files are of different type.  Did I miss a configure
option
or something that allows me to create a.out files instead of
Multiboot-elf?
