It was added in Solaris 7 (as mentioned in the "Solaris 7 System
Administration Supliment").  I too had never heard of it before now,
and I am really glad I have!

Since the log(7d) man page was a little hazy, I include the following
for convinience of others who want to use the msgid's.

=46rom Solaris 7 System Administration Supliment "Improved System Boot
and Error Message Format"

     Enable system message IDs by adding the following line to the
     /platform/`uname -i`/kernel/drv/log.conf file, if it exists.=20
     Otherwise, add the msgid property to the /kernel/drv/log.conf
     file.

     To enable system message IDs without rebooting the system, use the
     following adb command:

     # echo log_msgid/W1 | adb -kw
