What you are trying to do here is not clear. You are -bootstrap-ping
_b which you can do directly, e.g .

. bootstrap _b , reps(2) : regress mpg foreign, nocons

You don't need to write a program to do that. Conversely, what is the
point of the program? It just does the same estimation twice and you
don't ask -bootstrap- to pay attention to its results.

By the way, the stuff like

local s1 = 1
local s2 = 2
local s3 = 3

is pure indirection.  Your code can be simplified down to

sysuse auto,clear

cap prog drop ddd
program ddd, eclass
        tempname b1 b2 b3 betas
        reg price foreign, nocons
        mat `b1'=e(b)
        matrix coleq `b1' = eq1

        reg price foreign, nocons
        mat `b2' =e(b)
        matrix coleq `b2' = eq2

        mat `b3'=1

        mat `betas' = `b1', `b2', `b3'
        ereturn post `betas'
end
