How long was "a while"? You probably need to let it do this, at least
once, before the two ends get synchronized. However, it should be less
than 10 seconds total.
If you give RedBoot the "load" command, but don't do anything with
minicom, what happens? You should see a string of "C" characters come
out, about one every 3 to 5 seconds. This tells you that RedBoot is
ready to accept the X-modem data.
