You need to provide two dihedral force field parameters in your frcmod file...
i.e. for CA-CA-N*-CA and CT-N*-CA-CA

or you can try NAD from R.E.DD.B.
See http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDDB/projects/F-90/
     http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDDB/projects/F-91/

get F-90.tar.bz2 for instance

tar jxvf F-90.tar.bz2
cd F-90
perl -p -i.old -e 's/\#\#\!\# //g' script1.ff
grep -v "to be replaced by the correct tripos" script1.ff > script1-new.ff
tleap -f script1-new.ff

See also in case you want to generate the prmtop/prmcrd files:
perl -p -i.old -e 's/\#\#\#\#\#\# //g' script1.ff
  or may be adapt it:
perl -p -i.old -e 's/\#\#\#\#\#\# //g' script1-new.ff
