You might want to actually place the ROM in a position
higher than that of the DFS on the ROM slots, that way
I think the machine will boot your program up first
before everything else.  Of course if it's a BASIC
program then OS and BASIC has to boot up first.  Then
it's a question of fiddling with the DIP switches
under the keyboard near the space bar.  Others might
be able to advise better, meanwhile I hope this gives
some clue.

Fiaz.
