These are kernel images; you need to boot them; eg:

  # gzip -d netbsd-20020813.gz
  # cp netbsd-20020813 /wscons
  # halt
  >> boot 3/rz?/wscons -a

You need to be running one of those kernels first. Also ensure to create
device nodes as the page says. Copy XdecNetBSD to /usr/X11R6/bin and make
/usr/X11R6/bin/X a symlink to it.
