You have updated to 9.1-RELEASE-p2 - but since there have been no

This could very reasonably be regarded as bug in the update/version
reporting process but I wouldn't hold my breath for a fix, as things
stand
the version reported only changes when the kernel is updated, or if you
recompile it after the update.
It would be nice if the version of the OS itself was stored in something
like /etc/freebsd-version so you know what the version of the OS as a
whole is. I'd even accept some sort of output by freebsd-update. It just
seems silly that there's no other way -- kern.osrelease is just the base
release and kern.version is the same thing that uname -a outputs. It's
hard to pick this up and monitor it accurately.
