Put them in as themselves. Netscape sees these files and thinks its got
a Netscape 3.0 database to convert: it generates the cert7.db and
key3.db files itself and completes the conversion when you change the
password.

You don't open the DB, you need to copy your certificate to a file and
open that. You probably have a copy of your certificate from the CA that
issued it or you can use the s_client utility with the -showcerts option
to grab a copy from the server that currently uses it.
If it works then you'll get the Netscape "install certificate" wizard
when you open the file.
