Currently there is no support for running RedBoot from an IDE
disk. The floppy booting RedBoot simply occupies the first 120-odd
sectors of the disk. Doing this on a hard disk would destroy any
filesystem on it.
For booting from formatted disks we support GRUB, but only to boot
eCos applications, not RedBoot since using a bootloader to load a
bootloader seemed a pointless exercise.
See the following documentation for details:
