That's obvious. I used the same method that is used for
System.map and psdatabase files.
__> ls -asCF /boot
total 1903
1 ./ 1 boot.0303 1 os2_d.b
1 ../ 5 boot.b 0 psdatabase@
88 System.map-2.0.30 1 chain.b 66 psdatabase-2.0.30
136 System.map-2.1.37 5 config-2.0.30 115 psdatabase-2.1.37
136 System.map-2.1.39 4 config-2.1.37 115 psdatabase-2.1.39
1 any_b.b 4 config-2.1.39 366 vmlinuz-2.0.30
1 any_d.b 8 map 424 vmlinuz-2.1.37
1 boot.0302 1 mbr.b 422 vmlinuz-2.1.39

The version number works just fine. Unlike bsd, we are not
using this as a configuration file per se, we are documenting what
configuration was used. Totally different situation.
