What you're asking for is the default behaviour - RedBoot should accept
a telnet connection, even during a boot script.  It allows for this by
checking for an incoming telnet connection if there are no serial characters
in the stream, while waiting for the ^C.

You might compare the sources - I know that this configuration uses
a pretty old version of RedBoot.  It may also be modified such that
what you're asking for is no longer working.
