No, it'll take a NXM trap (through 4); what happens then depends on what the
trap handler is set to - if anything.

See above. I wouldn't bet on a 'P' doing anything useful.

You could set the PS to 340 and the PC to the start of the bootstrap, and do
a 'P' to start it running. (Using 'G' to start the bootstrap will clear the
PS.)

But I guess you've still got the NXM trap to contend with. If the bootstrap
doesn't set the trap handler up, you could manually key in the vector (at 4)
and a real simple trap handler (e.g. just dismiss, with an RTI), and you also
might have to set up the SP.
