You can provide a EmbeddedServletContainerCustomizer and add your (e.g. static) error pages there. See Error Handling in the spring boot docs. E.g:

@Bean
public EmbeddedServletContainerCustomizer containerCustomizer() {
        return new EmbeddedServletContainerCustomizer() {
            @Override
            public void customize(ConfigurableEmbeddedServletContainer container) {
                container.addErrorPages(new ErrorPage(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND, "/404.html"));
            }
        };
}
