I rebuilt my cvs_head directory of RTEMS with the  USE_COM1_AS_CONSOLE=1
BSP_PRESS_KEY_FOR_RESET=0 options as given in
"http://www.rtems.com/wiki/index.php/QEMU#Using_the_rtems-testing_Module
", installed qemu from CentOS yum repos and got the following results:

So it looks like I'm building RTEMS and the example ok but my "simple
generic test machine" isn't so simple.  Or my GRUB isn't working right.

At least that's a clue as to where to start debugging this...
