No, it does not, although I've read that you can copy NTLDR and NTDETECT to a floppy to get a minimal boot disk.
Might want to read some of the postings at news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.server.general and news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.server.setup.

No problem... There has been several posts in the newsgroups listed above about bootdisks, and I think there's a MSKB article, too.
