no, its not necessary that u choose ymodem, you can as well specify x modem in the load command option.
you dont need a real modem though, you have to run either minicom or hyperterm to send the files down the serial port. specify the same protocol to minicom or hyperterm as you would have specified for Redboot.
hope this helps.
