Hmm, I'm not sure what you are asking, *exactly*, because
dmesg(8) simply prints the collected messages given by the OS
kernel beginning with the most recent boot-up.

However, and I think maybe I'm correct in this guess, if
you are asking how to make the system remember the IP address
for an interface "across a reboot", try adding a line like
this to the file /etc/rc.conf:

	ifconfig_xl0="192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"

     where "xl0" is the name of the interface.  You can
read the manpage for ifconfig(8) ("man ifconfig") and
possible the manpage for rc.conf(5) for more information.

HTH,
