When writing an image out to the HD, you must have the exact same number of blocks for the image and the HD. (This is why I'd suggested dd'ing the HD to an image, using that image with SIMH to do the install, and then dd'ing it back.) 2. RSTS is very picky about what it will support (I can confirm this 3. "The RQZX1 does support non DEC devices. However if you change a drive it will require you to go into the firmware to update it. Even if it is the same exact model of drive." 4. RSTS/E might only support up to a 2GB drive (I use a 2GB drive). I'm still seeing if I can get ahold of a copy of the manual for the RQZX1. Hopefully RSTS/E isn't picky about about what sorts of drives are attached to the RQZX1. I know I can use non-DEC HD's on my Viking, and since the RQZX1 can use non-DEC devices, I think you're safe.
