The way round this would be to:

(1) Download the program to RAM
(2) Download another bit of code to switch ROM to BASIC then run program
code.
(3) Jump to code (2)

I think you'd need to put the ROM in a high priority slot and set its type
to Language. You would need to put a bit of code in it to respond to one of
the BBC's service calls and start the above download process. The Advanced
User Guide should explain all this.
