I have installed from a RSTS/E 10.1 tape image in the past and I seem
to remember it being more Y2K friendly. I used the Bitsavers 10.0 tape
image as an example here because the 10.1 tape image source that I
previously used was not public at the time to provide a link.
Yeah, those messages bug me slightly and I should try to figure out
what they mean. I don't remember seeing those when I used a 10.1
install. I just wanted to get this example out there for Rod now, and
worry about clean up issues later.
Thanks.

This says there's some stuff in your start.com that RSTS is not happy with, but
it's not clear what that might be. It doesn't seem to cause any real problems.
