Thank you for your help.  I successfully loaded my hello.bin as 
hello.img and then I tried to let it autoboot the way it did while 
running the Linux image (using tftp, bootm).  It told me that it had 
loaded hello.img, but I got garbage characters on my terminal window and 
changing the baud rate did not seem to help.  The hello.exe file I got from
<my home 
directory>/tools/build-rtems/powerpc-rtems4.7/c/pm520_ze30/testsuites/samples/hello

Thank you,
