Im not sure i understand your question.

Do you want RedBoot to use the information in the bootp reply to
download in image from a server and then execute that image?

If so, as far as i know, RedBoot does not support this. You could add
this though. Reboot understands SREC and ELF images and supports
getting an image from TFTP. All you need to add it code to extract the
filename and server name from the bootp reply and then control the
tftp client code and jump into the image after it has been loaded.
