I do believe it was asking you to set up a user account. While the installation requires root privileges, which is why it asked for the root account name and password before the bulk of the install commenced, it waits until the first boot for the rest of the information to make your machine properly usable (it is bad practice to log in as root for any by administrative work). Routine use of your computer should be as an ordinary user to reduce the chance of performing a damaging task.
