Get the output of a program in a file using QEmu

What version of Qemu are you using ?

To narrow down the problem, try using one of the sample/test programs  
in /opt/rtems-4.9/i386-rtems4.9/pc586/lib/rtems-4.9/tests (eg:  
hello.exe).

The command line I use with Qemu 0.9.1 is:

qemu -no-reboot -m 128 -boot n -tftp /opt/rtems/i386-rtems/pc386/lib/ 
rtems-4.9/tests -bootp /hello.exe -serial stdio


-- dc
