Hmm... ok. Now, I have another question. Is there a way for me to "redirect"
ipfw messages away to the correct file?

dmesg displays the system messages buffer. The kernel firewall
facility uses that, just like the boot information you're referring
to. You've apparently got enough ip stuff logged that the buffer has
filled, and the boot information is now gone.
