HELP! Errors installing under SunOS 4.1.1

I have had some trouble getting the core to install on our Sparc I's.  It
compiles with no errors, but during the install complains about various
frame buffer devices that don't seem to be found. First if was cg6reg.h,
but I found a copy of that on one of our old machines that still have
4.0.3 on it. Now it's cg12_var.h it complains about during install.

I literally installed everthing but the kitchen sink off the Sun tapes, so
I am wondering what is wrong here. Were my SunOS tapes factory seconds
that were missing files? Is it X's fault for going to look for these
devices?

A listing of the tail of my install session follows if that's any help:
