This is a little tricky, since the -q command line option only skips the 
config interface (textconfig or gui menus), but it does not force the 
debugger to execute the "continue" command. You can use the debugger 
capability to process a text file with a list of commands before showing 
the prompt (or waiting for a gui button).

Create a text file containing the character 'c' and a newline. Then 
start bochs at the command line with the "q" and "rc" option like this:

bochs -q -rc debug.rc

Of course you can give the file a different name, the extension "rc" is 
not mandatory. Bochs with debugger runs slower than without it, so it 
would be better to use a binary without this facility.
