The …AT. indirect command task will be found in LB:[3,54] and there are 
three versions of it (ICM.TSK, ICMFSL.TSK, and ICMRES.TSK) if this is a RSX11M+ 
system. This is the task image that is failing to load is probably ICMFSK.TSK. 
There is a text file in LB:[1,54]SYSVMR.CMD you can type to your screen:

PIP TI:=LB:[1,54]SYSVMR.CMD

a line in the file is:

INS [3,54]ICMFSL/INC=10000              ! Indirect command file processor

just above that line should be:

INS [1,1]FCSRES/PAR=GEN/RON=YES         ! FCS resident/supervisor-mode library

if this is the case then then the ICMFSK.TSK is the one that is failing to 
load. So after the system boots and the …AT.
fails, you can:

>REM …AT.
>INS LB:[3,54]ICM.TSK
>@LB:[1,2]STARTUP.CMD

which should bring the system up. It is likely that you could also use 
ICMRES.TSK which also uses the FCSRES library. To see if the library is loaded 
the command is CBD. If you see FCSRES displayed then ICMRES.TSK should also 
work. 

Once the system completes STARTUP.CMD, then you should make a change in the 
system image [1,54]RSX11M.SYS to use
the ICM.TSK at the next boot up. To do this you need to use VMR which makes 
changes in the system image similar to the MCR commands
on a running system.

>SET /UIC=[1,54]
>SET /DEF=[1,54]
>INS $VMR
>VMR
Enter filename: RSX11M.SYS
VMR>REM …AT.
VMR>INS [3,54]ICM.TSK
VMR>^Z                                           (Enter a control Z)

This sequence should cause the next boot to come up and chain to 
[1,2]STARTUP.CMD cleanly. Then you can rebuild INDFSL with the SYSGEN procedure 
as described by the previous post.
