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.
