Yes, currently the system boots from a floppy disk (stage1 -> stage2 loader), which then loads the OS (CBIOS/BDOS/CCP) and an (384K) initial ramdisk, and currently runs out of memory, so once the OS is booted the disk can actually be removed from the system.
Once there is more proper disk support, the initial ramdisk can become optional, though a more proper ramdisk implementation is planned, which will make supporting floppy-disk-only systems easier.
