The problem is that the files are taken directly from our "Store" system,
which has these strange @pmaxnetbsd suffixes, and so on.  You need to
have the rgb database available as /store/lib/X11/rgb.db, and on our
systems this is done with an automatically-generated symlink like this:

/store/lib/X11/rgb.db -> /S/ernie/X11/ver-5.26/lib/X11/rgb.db@litend,optional:

You can probably get by if you just make a symlink like this:
# ln -s /usr/local /store
then get the "no-suffix.tar.gz" file that I am about to make, which
unpacks into /store without any of the suffixes.

I don't know what type of framebuffer the DS5000/120 has, but you should
be able to see if it finds one during boot.  If there's an fb0 there,
doing a ./MAKEDEV fb0 in /dev should fix this.
