What format data is openocd expecting?  The file 'boot' is
an ELF executable, which contains not only the binary image
of your program (instructions, data, etc), but also symbolic
information, debug info, etc.  Files in this format have to
be parsed (broken down) for the download to make sense.

My guess is that openocd is expecting just the binary data.
In this case, you need to extract out just that from the ELF
image.  Use objcopy for this:

  % arm-elf-objcopy -O binary boot boot.bin

This has nothing to do with the fact that you were trying to
disassemble the object file (boot.o or vectors.o) and having
trouble making sense of it.
