MicroVMS 4.x - a trimmed down VMS kit intended specifically for small
installations - came on a couple dozen RX50's. I think this is just
about as cruel as the Wagner Ring Cycle on "convenient" 45's.
You can still build a VMS STABACKUP (standalone backup) kit
on RX33's or RX50's, should you so desire. Just do _at_SYS$UPDATE:STABACKIT
and answer the questions.
The most convenient install medium for the past decade or so, of course,
is CD-ROM. Alternatively, clustering a machine with an already-up
node and moving the install sets over the network is pretty slick.
