I did ktrace + kdump and this is what I get at the end of the file.

 13756 filemgr  CALL  #126 (unimplemented xmknod)
 13756 filemgr  PSIG  SIGSYS SIG_DFL
 13756 filemgr  NAMI  "filemgr.core"

Can anyone identify if this is a Solaris(svr4) system call or is in   
suppose to be in the kernel?

You should use ktrace + kdump to see which system call it fails on. It's
either simply a Solaris system call that is not available in the   
emulation,
or you're missing something in your kernel.
