Ah! It's the RSX-11M-PLUS PREGEN system, I suspect.
For people who don't know. The RSX distribution tape holds several savesets.
RSX11MPBL87 is the standard baseline system.
MPBL87SRC holds the sources. (Normally installed during the initial sysgen)
Then comes a bunch of patches to layered products.
Final saveset is RSXMPRL02, which is a pregenned system for RL02. This
is especially useful if your system disk is an RL02, as you do not have
enough room to run a SYSGEN on that disk, but it also saves some space
and speed, since you can basically install that and start using the
system without any more work. It can be customized somewhat.
I have no idea what someone have gone to the effort of splitting the
distribution tape up the way you people have found things.
