Yeah. Here's basically the minimum for a bootable disk:

C:
        loadwb
        endcli
        echo
        more (MuchMore, PPMore, whatever)
L:
        disk-validator
        ram-handler
        port-handler
libs:
        icon.library
        arp.library (optional but recommended)
        info.library
devs:
        system-configuration
        serial.device
s:
        startup-sequence

Those take up ~80k. Then just use a program like WB1.3:C/Install or 
BootDoctor from Amiga Resource. (Much better.)
