'Gromacs' or 'Gromos96' are only text labels that will be printed
by pdb2gmx in the menu when you choose your forcefield. You must
also update the counter on the first line, which states the number
of entries in the file. In my FF.dat it is 6, which should be 7 if
you add an entry.

The files David refers to should be named ffG50a1.rtp, ffG50a1.atp, 
ffG50a1.hdb, ffG50a1bon.itp etc. They must be either in your working
dir (where you run pdb2gmx), or in a path from $GMXDATA, or in the
<gmxdir>/share/top where gromacs is installed.
