With

qemu-system-i386 -kernel <program>.exe -no-reboot

  it runs the program, gives the output just fine and exits (as the 
pc386 script, just on a GUI), the problem only starts if I try to debug 
with gdb and load several programs on the same Qemu run.

For pc386 I could only have output with the GUI interface, with 
-nographic I had no luck.

About GRUB I also tried it but I think It's more work when the command 
above does the same. On the wiki there is no mention for the need to 
change the (hd#) numbers on the grub.conf which causes the grub shell to 
appear instead of the boot menu, and also doesn't mention the option above.

How can I add a note on the wiki?

About debugging I hadn't much luck with pc386, so I followed your 
suggestion and installed Qemu from the latest Git and tested it with 
arm/realview-pbx-a9 BSP.

Two issues there:

- The loaded program never stops running;
- I can't load another program on the same Qemu run with GDB, It always 
runs the program loaded initially (this also happened on pc386, so it 
must be something on GDB).

I'm running GDB like this:

tar remote :1234
load
continue (have to do Ctrl-c, because it doesn't stop running after this)

To load another program:
monitor system_reset
load
continue (just resumes the initially loaded program instead)

Thanks for the help so far Sebastian.
