The man page for hald reads:

...
The enabling and disabling of hald can be performed  through
the  service management facility (SMF) (see smf(5)). hald is
managed  using  the  fault  management  resource  identifier
(FMRI) svc:/system/hal. Options can be specified as SMF pro-
perties.
...
The following svccfg(1M)  command  specifies  the  --verbose
option.

example# svccfg
svc:> select hal
svc:/system/hal> listprop hal/*
hal/verbose          boolean  false
hal/use_syslog       boolean  false
svc:/system/hal> setprop hal/verbose=true
svc:/system/hal> exit

but the service svc:/system/hal doesn't have these properties and property group.

Also when properties hal/verbose and hal/use_syslog are added
(with svccfg addpg and addpropvalue) hald ignores them.
