RTEMS is not GNU/Linux. :)  The hello.exe you have is the entire executable.
You can boot it from a floppy image and use qemu if you like. 

ftp://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/4.7.1/contrib/pc386_grub_image/

contains an old grub image with some sample executables.   You can try it by
dd'ing it to a floppy of using qemu like "qemu -fda grub144".
