Probably, but the authoratitive source for this sort of thing is
the manual that matches the version of RT you're interested in.

That's easy: SWAP.SYS, TT.SYS, DY.SYS (or DX.SYS or whatever driver
your hardware uses for the 8" drive), and a monitor (RT11SJ.SYS). This
gives you a bootable minimal floppy which is capable of doing very
little :-). Almost certainly you want to put PIP, DIR, DUP, FORMAT,
and other useful "recovery utilities" on as well (BUP if you use it,
your favorite editor, etc.). And certainly the
drivers for any other devices you may be interested in.
And, of course, after putting the files on the floppy, you want to make
it hardware bootable too! COPY/BOOT DY:RT11SJ DY:, for example.
