[ECOS] redboot time out in load

[B.E.Comp Project]

Hello all

i want to load the program from host syatem onto target.
and then execute it.but i am getting troble in that... could someone help me.

i have connected 2 machines with serial null-modem cable.
i have created 'redboot.bin' and transferred it to floppy using 'dd'. 
i started the minicom program on host system (linux). then boot the
target system thro' floppy.
redboot prompt appears on target. same display is observed in minicom
(but this is not accepting any commands through keyboard).

i give

Redboot > load -v -m yMODEM on the target . 

it waits for some time. immidiately i gave 'send file' in minicom .
the target shows some 'magic' (9 'c's and then soem unreadable
character )characters for some time .
then it gives message :

Can't load '<null>' : Timed out
