Not normally, but if you use the bootblock to boot the installation
system as written to the swap partition, to do the installation.
After that, it can be anywhere.
In fact --- only the first --- how big is the miniroot, 8 MB? --- of the
swap partition need to be wholly within the first 4 GiBytes of the disk...
but the root partition must be completely on the disk, as all files -
including the kernel - are spread out to all the cylinder groups.
