Lost on installation

I apparently didn't install correctly, as on removal of live USB I see a black screen with the text, "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key".

I made 2 partitions, one a 1GB FAT32 (flags are boot, esp) and the other EXT4 with the rest of my hard drive. I think I was supposed to do something in the installation where I was given options to chroot, continue, or abort. I chose to continue. What should I have done, and how do I do it?

Posting from phone.

Re: Lost on installation

"Install bootloader" would have been the right choice.

You can either reinstall or else boot the live, chroot the installed system and run grub-install && update-grub

Here's the link to the full install guide:
