Yes, bootmenu-installer ONLY installs bootmenu. install-tools clones to SD.

If it finishe and it wont boot, it sounds like something went wrong, I would try to reinstall again.

It normally takes two installs to work at all. The first one repartitions the SD to the new layout, then it needs to be reinstalled to redo it now that its booted with the new partition layout.

If you are re-installing a card that has already been partitioned by my deb, it should work the first time. Its only when the partition layouts change you need to install the second time.

I have thought about making two separate debs, but this works and I am lazy
