Thanks for the answer.  I made it to work.  Hooray!

Thank you all for answering my questions regarding Pelican, and Kudos to
NetBSD for making it possible on a T.C. system.  My only complain is the
document that kept me from trying earlier. :-)

Virtual consoles are not supported... so the error message is not really
dangerous.

tar xfvzp Xserver.tgz manually and double check the symlink for
/usr/X11R6/bin/X -> /usr/X11R6/bin/XalphaNetBSD.
