The GENERIC_SMALL kernel does NOT support System V IPC calls.  So I wonder if
you running the GENERIC_SMALL kernel or another kernel with the same missing
feature..

If that is the case, you have to rebuild your kernel, making sure that
/sys/sun4c/conf/<kernel name>'s 3 lines starting with "options IPC" have
not been commented out.
