Answering my own question (I wasn't thinking w/the above) -- the front 
panel will let me see whatever memory I want as a flat 18-bit address 
space from 000000-777776 but the CPU only has a 16-bit address range, 
and with memory mapping turned off the I/O page appears at the top of 
the 16-bit address space.  So when I peek at 160000-177777 from the 
front panel I see RAM, but when the CPU is executing it's addressing ROM 
in the I/O page.

I'm going to do a bit of disassembly tomorrow to see what the CPU's 
executing from ROM and why it's halting.  It's clearly time for me to 
get to bed now, however :).

Thanks,
Josh
