By the way, the following command is more useful for your purpose:

root@athene.usta.de:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
Here you see whether you are running -release, -stable or -current,
and here the build number also tells you something:
Here you see who (root) built the kernel when (Nov 18),
on which host (athene.usta.de) and in which source tree.
kern.version=OpenBSD 4.2 (GENERIC) #375: Tue Aug 28 10:38:44 MDT 2007
deraadt@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
This is the one that I just installed. It does not report being one of -release, -stable or -current, but as per another posting, I am hoping that it is that official 4.2 release.
Thank you very much for your comments.
