Its too soon to finish. You have marked for creating the LVs, and have
labled them, but you still much choose each one (move curser, hit enter)
and select "use as" and select a filesystem type, a filesystem lable, a
mount point, etc, just as when you selected partition #1 and marked it
"use as" ext3, mount on /boot, and partition #2 as "use as" physical
volume for LVM.
