I was greeted with > "boot error". 1) This is not where you want to reboot. Wait until the installation is complete (it will tell you). 2) Did you install the boot manager? This is during an early stage of the installation. If it is installed, then when you boot, you will get a menu of partitions to boot from. If you didn't, then the computer will find an inappropriate boot record and give you an error.
