Do you mean the install boot disk, or a boot/startup disk for your system?
If the latter, you're SOL. The only way to have a boot disk for your system
is to make one. You can do this (I think) by going to a shell prompt and
typing "mkbootdisk" and reading the man pages (attached here for your
convenience <G>)
BTW, this was originally a Linux *.txt file, but I have "cleaned it up" for
readability under Winblows! There were lots of duplictate characters and
other strange non-US characters.

mkbootdisk - creates a stand-alone boot floppy for the
running system
SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
mkbootdisk [--version] [--noprompt] [--verbose]
[--mkinitrdargs <args>] [--device <devicefile>]
<kernel>
DESCRIPTION
mkbootdisk creates a boot floppy appropriate for the run-
ning system. The boot disk is entirely self-contained, and
includes an initial ramdisk image which loads any neces-
sary SCSI modules for the system. The created boot disk
looks for the root filesystem on the device suggested by
/etc/fstab. The only required argument is the kernel ver-
sion to put onto the boot floppy.
The resultant boot disk may also be used to boot from a
floppy root filesystem by typing rescue at the lilo:
prompt rather then letting the default image boot.
OPTIONS
--device <devicefile>
The boot image is created on <devicefile>fR. If
--device is not specified, /dev/fd0 is used.
--mkinitrdargs <args> Passes <args>fR to mkinitrd (which
is used to create the initial ramdisk image
for the boot floppy). Any mkinitrd arguments may be
specified.
--noprompt Normally, mkbootdisk instructs the user
to insert a floppy and waits for confirmation
before continuing. If --noprompt is specified, no
prompt is displayed.
--verbose
Instructs mkbootdisk to talk about what it's doing
as it's doing it. Normally, there is no output from
mkbootdisk.
--version
Displays the version of mkbootdisk and exits.
