Use an equilibrated file from the dynamics section, such as md_na.rst.

Make this as for the perturbed prmtop files, but use saveAmberParm rather
than saveAmberParmPert.

No. Note that, for beginners, it is generally more straightforward to
use sander rather than gibbs to do free energy simulations. Set up the
pertrubed prmtop file as for gibbs, but then follow the instructions in
the Users' Manual, section 5.6.18. For this demo, you just set icfe=1,
and run a series of runs with different values of clambda. Then add up
the resulting estimates of <dV/dlambda> as indicated in the manual.
..good luck...dac
