You wouldn't need a physical floppy drive for a VM environment. HyperV and Vmware (and I would presume other VM environments) allow you to mount a floppy image into the virtual floppy drive. You could then create your own floppy images from any machine that does have a floppy and copy them over to the VM environment.
Alternately, there are ways to create a bootable NT4 CD and negate the need for the floppies.... Start at this page: http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#nt4 Enjoy.

Since you're looking for a vhd, is this a VM machine? If so, you can add a virtual floppy drive to the VM and have it point that to an image file. Then you can make the boot floppies into the image files with no physical drive required.

Anyone have a prebuilt VHD I can borrow? I don't have a floppy drive to build the 3 disks to install with, and there does not seem to be an ISO in MSDN....
