Usually you would install an SVR package like this using pkgadd -d .
from the mount point.  Have you done that already?  This should take
care of any other steps (pre- & post-install scripts, etc.)  Maybe the
instructions you have are for SunOS 4.x?

If this doesn't help, I can take a closer look.  I should have this
package somewhere...
