Link it as an absolute image (no libraries), transfer to your host by
network or paper tape, load with sim> load.

Or if you are ambitious, just run it under RT11, set IPL to 7 and
execute a RESET instruction.  That will disable all the peripherals, and
you can start writing your own OS.  You'll have to set up your own trap
and interrupt vectors.  Memory management if you want it...

I don't recommend the ambitious route unless you have a lot of time and
a high tolerance for pain.
