It was a while ago on Adrian's page although it's not there.

I don't I use SD Card and/or USB drive on which I have fully working 
environment. For testing I use NFS boot.

So that's OK.

Actually not the filename but if you run mkfwimage with parameters then you 
have the version string which in my case is as above.

For building image I run:
mkfwimage -v RSPRO.ar7100pro.FreeBSD.Test -B RSPRO -o image.bin -k kernel.gz\
-r rootfs
