Here is a basic script which builds a small image with just GRUB Legacy on it and uses QEMU to test if the image boots. It is for Fedora 14 X64. All you need to do is change GRUBFILEDIR to point to the directory containing your GRUB stage{1,2} files.
You can easily extend it to include a kernel and other binaries.

qemuctl
qemuctl(1)qemuctl(1)NAME
qemuctl - Graphical control for qemu
SYNTAX
qemuctl [-suspend-dir <dir>] [-suspend-file <filename>] [-qemu <qemu>] [-nowakeup] qemu-options
DESCRIPTION
qemuctl is a gui that controls a qemu process with the built-in monitor of qemu. So you can change devices, suspend machines, save screen-
shots, ...
If you suspend a machine it will do the following macro:
stop
screendump "suspend-dir/suspend-file.ppm"
savevm "suspend-dir/suspend-file.vm"
commit
quit
You can afterwards resume the machine with:
qemuctl -suspend-dir suspend-dir -suspend-file suspend-file your_qemu_options
the suspend-files will then be deleted
or
qemuctl -loadvm suspend-dir/suspend-file.vm your_qemu_options
Be aware that you can't use the "-monitor" option with qemuctl, because it needs the control over the monitor. The option "-serial stdio"
can't be used, too.
OPTIONS -suspend-file <filename>
This option is normaly used by qemuctl to support suspend and wakeup. qemuctl can then find the vm-state-file in its folders and
wakeup the virtual machine. If the file is there the qemuctl waes up the virtual machine and deletes the file afterwards. On suspend
the vm-state-file is then stored as the <filename> with the .vm ending and the screenshot is stored as the <filename> with the .ppm
ending.
Default filename is "suspend".
-suspend-dir <dir>
This is the dir where the suspend files would be stored or expected.
Default is current dir.
-nowakeup
Don't wake up even if the vm-file is there. Suspend still works.
Default is to wake up using the vm-file if it is there.
-qemu <qemu>
The qemu variation to use. It can be qemu or kvm.
Default is qemu.
qemu-options
Use qemu-options for the launch of qemu. See qemu(1) for further details.
FILES
none
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
none
EXAMPLES
To use the suspend file 'Debian 3.1' and store/search it in the '/qemu' dir:
qemuctl -suspend-file "Debian 3.1" -suspend-dir "/qemu" -boot c -hda hda.raw
Alternativly you can run it with default suspend filenames:
qemuctl -boot c -hda hda.raw
