According to hal/arm/xscale/ixdp425/current/include/pkgconf/mlt*.ldi 
RedBoot should think the RAM starts at 0, not 0x10100000. It seems your 
problem is the ROM image on your board is somewhat incompatible with your 
current sources. Difficult to say without looking closer what the best way 
forward would be, but have you tried saying yes to the ocnfirmation request 
and just trying it? According to 
hal/arm/xscale/ixdp425/current/include/hal_platform_extras.h:

    //  Virtual Address   Physical Address  XCB  Size (MB)  Description
    //     0x00000000       0x00000000      010     256     SDRAM (cached)
    //     0x10000000       0x10000000      010     256     SDRAM (alias)

So it may just work if it's an alias.
