man 8 ifconfig, and look at /etc/rc.conf. Here is an example from my own
machine (My interface card is pn0, replace it with ed0 or whatever is
appropriate for your system). IP addresses have been changed to protect
the innocent.
ifconfig_pn0="inet A.B.C.D netmask 255.255.255.0"
# this is my own IP address for my home network
ifconfig_pn0_alias0="inet E.F.G.H netmask 255.255.255.0"
# this is the IP address given to me by my ADSL provider
