This file is not suitable for configuring a particular RedBoot.  In
fact, I'm not even sure why it's in the repository.  (I think Jesper
did it as a short cut).

In general, to configure RedBoot for a particular environment, I do:
  % ecosconfig new <target> redboot
  % ecosconfig import <startup_type>.ecm
// Then, if I want/need FLASH support
  % ecosconfig add flash
// Similarly, if I want/need networking
  % ecosconfig add eth_drivers
  % ecosconfig tree
