What exactly makes you confused? Please reread the following excerpts from the 
section you referenced:

"It is actually recommended to start smaller and keep local.conf.sample in the 
background and add entries from there step-by-step as you understand and need 
them."

[...]

For building a .dev branch, in your local.conf file, you should have at least 
the following three entries. Example for the Angstrom distribution and the 
Openmoko gta01 machine:

BBFILES = "/stuff/org.openembedded.dev/packages/*/*.bb"
DISTRO = "angstrom-2008.1"
MACHINE = "om-gta01"
