No, this is ok. You don´t need an entry in inittab to redirect output to 
some ttys.

I have lost the focus to your problem. As I know you said
syslogd starts fine if started manually, but it fails to start
right after reboot, isn´t it?
If all your runscripts are ok - and I think they are - it looks
like something isn´t up right after reboot - like some modules aso.
Can you give the output from /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/boot*, if it
is a current RH dist.
If you have booted a new kernel, and the problem appears right after this,
you´ve changed something in the .config file or the kernel is bad.
