I was searching through the discussion database about RedBoot, and found the

You don't actually require an "fis init" for RedBoot on the EDB7211 board, 
do you?  All I did to get rid of the checksum error was run "fconfig" and 
follow the prompts.  Also, right after downloading the RedBoot ROM image I 
typed "fis list", and it did display a list of images so I assume that the 
FIS was initialized at startup.

But presumably you can't do an fconfig until you've done an "fis init", so
both steps are required in order.

Actually it's a good point that I don't think this is covered in the
RedBoot user's guide. I'll add it.
