Only if you put a filesystem on it.  Boot Manager does not need a
file system and therefore won't get a drive letter.  If you don't
try to format the Boot Manager partition (ie, install a
filesystem) before installing Boot Manager you won't have to deal
with any spurious drive letters popping up.  To reiterate: the 
Boot Manager partition doesn't need to be formated and won't get 
a drive letter.
