I do not know if this is relevant to this discussion (I don't know what 
qmenu is about), but I am able to boot rtems direct from dos using 
eXtender. This gives me freedom to run some freedos tools (such as 
chkdsk) before rtems starts. I can change what rtems app I want to run 
at the command line or from the autoexec.bat.  What is cool about this 
is that i don't need to fdisk, install grub, or anything like that.

If it helps, good - otherwise, feel free to ignore me.
