Checking General on iPhone I see it as 04.05.04_G but that's the baseband. I believe you are asking about the bootloader. Where can I see that w/o installing 3rd party app?

Hmm... I'm not sure how you'd check the bootloader after the upgrade. Bootneuter 2.0 is removed after it flashes and obviously 1.0 can't be installed (through Installer.app) anymore.
Bootneuter would have informed you as to what it was doing while it flashed, but after the fact it'll take a 3rd party app (to my knowledge one hasn't been ported yet).
I was just curious if 2.0 required the 4.6 bootloader, not a big deal.

It ended up being a straightforward and hassle free method to upgrade my phone. If you're apprehensive about doing so it's probably smart to wait, you don't want to get yourself into a bad position; one where you're attempting a weird combination of things to unbrick your phone.
I'm certainly not saying that this is the best way to upgrade. It just happened to work fine for me, without a hitch or any of the bizarre error messages I've read about.
On a side note: I used Amarok (a Linux music library app, which worked beautifully on 1.1.4) after the 2.0 upgrade to sync some music over wirelessly (I despise iTunes). It completely corrupted at least the iPhone music database and I had to restore the phone again (using the same method) -- the restore worked perfectly the second time as well...
Lesson learned... don't touch Amarok until the Linux devs realize there's an issue, probably by corrupting a few 2.0 phones themselves
