I've seen this problem before. The messages are coming from the Solaris kernel ring buffer via /dev/log, if you run dmesg you'll see the same messages. I could not find a way to clear the kernel buffer.
This is correct, though dmesg on solaris doesn't read the buffer, it's a shell script that tails the messages file. It's just coincidence that kernel messages go to that file. If you turn off kernel messages going to /var/adm/messages, dmesg won't even show kernel messages anymore.
