Try the following commands to create missing devices:
# mknod /dev/kbd c 11 0
# mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 0
# mknod /dev/sunmouse c 10 6
This got X working for me, so I think this is all you'll need to do for that.
FYI- a cgsix is an accelerated 8bit card with 1mb vram (I think :). The
cgthree is unaccelerated.
