Is there no example for building RTEMS with just a shell?

Well, you have these lines in the transcript:
Network Boot File load in progress... To abort hit <BREAK>
Bytes Received =&1639816, Bytes Loaded =&1639816
Bytes/Second =&149074, Elapsed Time =11 Second(s)
I interpret this as saying that you have successfully loaded your mvme2307.boot image into memory. One immediate question: does the "Bytes Received" count of 1639816 match the size of your mvme2307.boot file?
Does the tutorial say anything about the correct load address, or is this board specific information? Do you know where the memory is on your board?

I am asking whether you can build RTEMS with just a shell.
However, this isn't important.

Um.

Serial console. RTEMS should be configured to provide you a shell on a serial console. If you haven't got a serial console then you'll see nothing, which is where you are now.

Looks to me as if PPC-BUG (the boot loader?) is working just fine, and your problem is with RTEMS. I can think of the following possibilities:
1. Incorrect load address specified
2. RTEMS not actually built against your hardware, either wrong Board Support Package or BSP not configured correctly
3. Serial port not configured correctly
Do you have an RTEMS board support package for your hardware, was that in the RTEMS documentation?
