I haven't used RT-11 for several years. I booted from an RX50
(and now I've tried an RX33) drive.

The WRITE PROTECT is off, and I can read the drive with DUMP. I
can even see the ODS-2 boot blocks.

Here's the output:
.show dev:du
Device Status CSR Vector(s)
------ ------ --- ---------
DU Resident 172150 154
DU0: is set UNIT=0, PART=0, PORT= 0
DU1: is set UNIT=1, PART=0, PORT= 0
DU2: is set UNIT=2, PART=0, PORT= 0
DU3: is set UNIT=3, PART=0, PORT= 0
DU4: is set UNIT=4, PART=0, PORT= 0
DU5: is set UNIT=5, PART=0, PORT= 0
DU6: is set UNIT=6, PART=0, PORT= 0
DU7: is set UNIT=7, PART=0, PORT= 0

The RX50 (and RX33, if I swap it for the RX50) works. I'm using the
DEC distribution. There's been no SYSGEN at this point.
