It was installed from the RSTS/E 10.0 tape image that recently
(2019-05-09) appeared on Bitsavers:

http://www.bitsavers.org/bits/DEC/pdp11/rsts/RSTS_V10.ZIP

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.
