You've got it the other way around. Switch layers are also bone layers, so you create the bone on the switch layer.

To assign a layer to the bone:

1. Make sure frame zero is active
2. Activate the Bind Layer tool
3. Activate a layer inside the bone layer
4. Click on the bone that you want your layer to be assigned to
