Since you mention grub I will assume this is for IA-32.

You can use the "simulate" target in Scons to run QEMU.  What actually 
happens in the build for IA-32 is, it builds a FAT image which 
contains the necessary grub installation and OKL4 image to boot.  When
you run the simulate target, it will run the QEMU program using 
that FAT image at the end.

You can also run QEMU manually.  As an example, for the ia32_pc99 target, 
I typically save time and invoke it directly by typing:

qemu -hda build/images/c.img -nograhic -serial stdio

Let us know if this works for you.
