The uname -a output should look something like this:
[tt]SunOS myhostname 5.8 Generic_108528-18 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20[/tt]
108528-18 is the revision of the currently installed Kernel Jumbo Patch (KJP). If it just has Generic it is the original version of the operating system, without any patches at all (a rare sight).
The KJP is just one of many patches on the system though; use showrev -p to check the complete list of patches you have installed. Annihilannic.
