This is a message using the GDB protocol which says
  "Init device '/dev/ser0'\n"

Yup - it's waiting for GDB to acknowledge the output string.

It looks to me like you've misconfigured RedBoot.  First of all,
you should *not* have serial drivers in a RedBoot configuration (serial
diagnostic drivers come from the HAL package).  

On any given platform, you should be able to generate a working
RedBoot, in ROM/FLASH, using this sequence:
  % ecosconfig new <platform> redboot
  % ecosconfig import startup.ROM
  % ecosconfig tree
  % make

where 'startup.ROM' contains:
    cdl_component CYG_HAL_STARTUP {
        user_value ROM
    };
