I believe you have to hand edit the \documentstyle line to remove an
extraneous comma (,) for it to work with 2.09. It (should) work fine
with 2e but I have not tested it in a while.

But this is unrelated. It means that tex either cannot find the format
file, or the file is corrupted somehow. I'm not familiar with the
package layout of TeX so I cannot tell you precicely where they should
be. (I'm still running the TeX I built on 386BSD+patchkit, before the
birth of NetBSD and FreeBSD.)
