You put the disk image on a RT-11 disk and mount it using the LD:
(logical disk) handler. Logical disks are RT-11's implementation of
subdirectories, and you can even have logical disks inside logical
disks. As an example:

If you want to learn more about operations like this, I'd advise you to
throughly look over the description of the MOUNT command in the
System User's Guide.
