Yes but the only bootable media for SCSI is the TK50.

RX33 is a 1.2mb PC disk. See dbit and other site for PUTR and telebit.
The disk interface for floppy likely also supports rx50 format (single
sided rx33), so RX50 floppies with stand alone backup can be used.

You can use backup to put stuff on RX33, there is a utility to create a
standalone backup kit on most any media, check HELP for the invocation.

One way to get VMS from a working system is to do a standalone
backup/image of the disk on the host and then write that backup set to the
target system using standalone backup from floppies, TK50 or even a hard
disk!
