I follow the site tutorial,

I have problem at  step 3b when I select Menu Item Type .
I can't find the Virtuemart default layout, the similar item  is only "front page"

That is a very old tutorial, made before VM2 was in the pre-release testing stages. The menu link should be to VM Front Page.
And it looks like you did not install the sample data during installation. Go to Configuration/Shop and select "Enable database Update tools"
Then go to Tools/Tools & migration and on the DB Tools tab hit the "Reset all tables and install sample data" button.

Use http://docs.virtuemart.net/ for instructions.
