[Simh] Standalone boot on vax8600?

How are standalone programs loaded and run on the 8600?  On the 7x0 I can
do "load -o boot 0" and "run 2" and that will run a standalone boot.  When
I do that in the 8600 sim I get a newline and then the program just loops
forever.

Alternately, does anyone know the right way to load bootblocks on an ra
disk in Ultrix 1 or 2 so that I can boot off of the disk directly?
Everything I've tried just ends up giving a "%BOOT-F-Unable to locate BOOT
fil" message from vmb.exe.
