I don't believe the boot1 is broken. I downloaded the iso image as
tarball and it extracted without any problems. The other programs in
the CD is working properly. I should be very unlucky to get boot1 broken
only =) Anyhow I also downloaded the boot1 from the link you provided
and made a "disklabel -B -b boot1" but it didnt help.

I also found out that in netbsd faqs that prom update might help
I put the flash program into the disk and then tried

boot disk flash-update
and
boot disk:a flash-update

But in every case I got the same result about the file being not
executable.

I am attaching my disklabel output also now. Any more suggestions? =)

Yes this is an Ultra10 with onboard controller. There is nothing extra
on it.
