I've got the spearfish database in /wrk/tests/grass/sp/spearfish. Consider
the following to access it.
***************'
# Some commands to get spearfish working

cd /wrk/tests/grass/sp

# Enter the following data on the initial screen
                            GRASS 4.2.1

LOCATION: This is the name of an available geographic location.  -spearfish-
          is the sample data base for which all tutorials are written.

MAPSET:   Every GRASS session runs under the name of a MAPSET.  Associated
          with each MAPSET is a rectangular COORDINATE REGION and a list
          of any new maps created.

DATABASE: This is the unix directory containing the geographic databases

         The REGION defaults to the entire area of the chosen LOCATION.
         You may change it later with the command: g.region
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

LOCATION:   spearfish_____             (enter list for a list of locations)
MAPSET:     ferenc________             (or mapsets within a location)

DATABASE:   /wrk/tests/grass/sp_______________________________



              AFTER COMPLETING ALL ANSWERS, HIT <ESC> TO CONTINUE
                            (OR <Ctrl-C> TO CANCEL)

# then set the default region
GRASS-GRID > g.region -d     

# open graphics monitor
GRASS-GRID > d.mon start=x1
Graphics driver [x1] started

Mapset <ferenc> in Location <spearfish>

# display elevation data in raster format
GRASS-GRID > d.rast elevation.dem

Mapset <ferenc> in Location <spearfish>
