you need to edit /etc/syslog.conf
if you want all kernel messages logged to that file, add or edit

#kern.*                                                 /dev/console

to

kern.                                                   /var/log/firewall

if you have a specific kernel level that you want to log to the firewall
file, for example lets take kernel level notice add or edit
kern.notice                                             /var/log/firewall

hope this helps, if i did something wrong fillfree to correct me

Best Regards
Bailey
