Description Michael A. McLean 2001-09-10 17:21:52 UTC 
* re0909.2-i386
* English / CD-ROM / Minimal / Partitionless Upgrade (from 7.1)

The boot loader on the boot floppy displays the following message:

Press <return> (or wait 10 seconds) to boot you Red Hat Linux system from
0701. ...

0701 seems like a strange name for a boot image.  Perhaps this is just a
dated tag?

no, it's the major:minor number of root.
