[Simh] Loading diagnostics

[Bob Supnik]

Use the FLOAD command. From the documentation:

The RX01 implements a special command, FLOAD, for loading VAX executables from
an RT11-formatted console floppy disk image:

            FLOAD <file_name> {<origin>}

FLOAD searches the floppy disk image attached to the RX01 for the named 
file and then loads it into VAX-11/780 memory starting at the origin.  
If no origin is specified, the default origin is 200 (hex).

This is how I load and execute diagnostics from console floppy images.

The reason I want to get to the 780's console is so that I can boot
standalone diagnostics as per this document:

Looks like this will be a problem...
