I'll answer my own dumb question.  The paddle switch on the rear panel
which is documented to "enable/disable halts" affects not only the
function of the front-panel Halt button but also the function of a
programmed HALT instruction.  RTFP (Read the fine print)!  So if you
put the switch down, the ROM bootstrap will just carry on after system
tests and look for a bootable storage device.
