Root Safestrap Unsafe is setup help me set up a second rom on safe side

It's been a while since I did this (my phone is no longer rooted) but I THINK you need to install the ROM after you enable 'safe' - before you reboot the phone.
If you enable safe and reboot the phone without installing a ROM on the safe side, the phone doesn't have anything to boot into and all you get is a black screen on bootup.
(I made this mistake, a few minutes of 'oh shit' until I figured it out and rebooted back in to recovery to flash a ROM).

AH HA! That's what hapened the first time I tried it. Enabled safe mode but didn't install a ROM. Thought I bricked my phone.
