Well, either you use mkzopeinstance, which indeed generates an
instance for you with all things included, or if you use buildout you
use a recipe like plone.recipe.zope2instance, in which case all it
takes is:

[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
eggs = Zope2
user = admin:password
http-address = 127.0.0.1:8080

and there's lots of documentation of the available options on the
recipe page on PyPi.

The current buildout docs are aimed at people who know how to set up
Zope2 and don't want any help. Those are comfortable reading ZConfig
definition files.
