Solaris does "strange"[1] things with procs running from init.  I use:

SV:23:respawn:/command/svscanboot < /dev/null > /dev/msglog 2>&1

on Solaris 9 and Solaris 10.  You should probably change 23 to 0123456S,
we do a different setting because we don't want svscan to run until
multi-user.

The above way puts output from svscan fd 1/2 to the "right" place, where 
right = same place as linux/etc.

[1] Where strange = different than other *nix for the same inittab
entry.
