Yes, an unattended RSX boot WOULD be nice. ;)

    You could probably do it with "expect".   I did some work in that area
several years ago.   I remember I got pretty far with it.   I should try
to dig it up.

I'm not getting it. What is the problem with unattended RSX boots?

  Not just RSX.   For RSTS/E at least, date prompting and such.
