No
From KS2.0+, bootblock code can be in any type of ram, and usually in fast-ram if available.

EDIT:
not that anything actually changes, the vast majority of those who use the bootblock to take control of the system expect that their code must also work on machines with KS1.x (the OCS releases) or with chip-ram only (base A500+/A600/A1200..).
