Having a problem running the monitor program

I just recently installed 4.0B on an Alpha 3800. I'm trying to run the
"monitor" program but keep getting the following error:

monitor: read_kernel: Can't read from /dev/kmem: No such device or address.

I'm running this as root, so there should not be a permission issue.

ls -l /dev/k*

crw------- 1 root system 31, 0 Mar 5 12:57 /dev/kbinlog
crw------- 1 root system 3, 1 Feb 26 11:03 /dev/kcon
crw-rw---- 1 root system 25, 1 Feb 26 11:03 /dev/keyboard0
crw------- 1 root system 3, 0 Feb 26 11:03 /dev/klog
cr--r----- 1 root mem 2, 1 Mar 6 07:57 /dev/kmem

If this was just a permission issue I would expect the message to read:
monitor: live: Can't open /dev/kmem: Permission denied.

I removed /dev/kmem and remade the device with /dev/MAKEDEV kmem

I still have the same problem. This isn't a 4.0B problem because the
monitor program is running on another Alpha with the same OS.

TIA
