I don't know about the Disk-Tool. Isn't this from FWB stuff, is it ?
When you say "I can't boot it", it would be more informative if you tell what
boot command you type and what the OF show the problem.

What happens if you type on OF ...
Did you got OF ?
As you said installation went fine, you should know this. But I am not sure.
Power on with command + option + O + F bring you to the OF.
Type at OF prompt,
boot hd:,ofwboot.xcf
what kind of messagess you get.
