The problem was compiling the kernel and getting the following error:

I tracked the problem down to "Open3D V4.5" not restoring original files back to normal
after un-installing it. The files that were affected are:
In '/sys/BINARY' - 'pvp.mod' and 'tga.mod' which had the "phys_to_kseg" reference.
In '/usr/shlib' - 'libX11.so', 'libos.so' and 'lib_dec_ffb.so' were missing.
I copied these from another identical system and everything works fine NOW.
Thanks for all the help.

According to nm this symbol is defined in
arch_alphapmap.mod
which is linked from
pmap.o pmap_debug.o pmap_update.o
if this helps.
I would try using setld to delete the kernel objects and modules
(Kernel Software Development) and (Kernel Build Environmnet)
and reinstall (adding any appropriate patches).

maybe when you removed the open 3d components the actual files were removed
but not the entry in the config file. it tries to build the kernel but
can't find any of the build environment for open 3d and fails. does the
open 3d kit contain any kernel build components (use setld to find out) --
if so you can remove them from the config file and try the rebuild.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>boot -fl s -fi genvmunix
#bcheckrc
#cp /vmunix /vmunix.old
#sizer -n NEWSYS
#cd /sys/conf
#cp HOSTNAME HOSTNAME.old
(Compare /tmp/NEWSYS against your existing kernel and make any necessary changes)
#setld -i | grep -i open3d (To make sure that Open3d is deinstalled)
#more /sys/conf/HOSTNAME (to make sure that Open3D is not in the kernel)
#doconfig -c HOSTNAME
#cp /sys/HOSTNAME /vmunix
#reboot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go into /sys/GOOFY and remove all the files. Then try a fresh
doconfig -c GOOFY
Usually this will clean up problems like what you are seeing, unless the
Open3D kit modified some of the system inventory files and didn't put them
back the way they should have been. Booting with genvmunix won't fix the
problem if it's caused by Open3D; in that case, you might need to use the
fverify utility to figure out what kernel built inventory was trashed by
Open3D.
