I am wondering if I need some different way to debug redboot. I don't have
multi-ice or such debugger. So far I was debugging my application with
RedBoot. Now I want to debug RedBoot itself. Is it feasible to debug redboot
with redboot itself? Say I have one redboot image with startup type as ROM
and another image with startup type as RAM. Can I debug later image with
former one? Won't it create any chaos?

Certainly it will. Some bits of redboot (such as the CLI or flash) are easier to debug than others (anything involving the debugging stub). Without an ICE, flashing LEDs or diag_printf's are the order of the day.
