a name server needs a startup file -- BIND version 4, this file is usually /etc/named.boot. For BIND version 8, this file is usually /etc/named.conf.
Looks like the document you are using is related to BIND 4 but your system is running at least BIND 8.
Try this
DNS How to which has named.conf info/example.
Or even better documentation can be found at

named-xfer(8) System Manager's Manual named-xfer(8)
Name
named-xfer - pull BIND/Hesiod zones from another server
Syntax
/usr/etc/named-xfer -z zone_to_transfer -f db_file -s serial_no [ -d debug_level ] [ -l debug_log_file ] [ -t trace_file ] [ -p port ] [ -n
] [ -a auth_type.auth_ver ] servers...
Description
The transfer daemon, is a server that is usually run by the daemon, but it can also be run manually with the given arguments. The transfer
daemon runs on a BIND/Hesiod secondary server and pulls BIND/Hesiod zones from a primary server. This daemon is not run by default, nor
can it be started up from
Options
-z zone_to_transfer
This option is required to pull a zone. The zone_to_transfer argument specifies the name of the BIND/Hesiod zone that
the daemon will transfer, for example, dec.com.
-f db_file This option is required to pull a zone. The db_file argument specifies the name of the file into which the pulled zone
information is placed.
-s serial_no This option is required to pull a zone. The serial_no argument should be set to the current serial number of the SOA
record for the zone zone_to_transfer. If serial_no is set to 0, the zone is always pulled.
-d debug_level The debug_level argument sets the debug level and determines the amount of debug information to be displayed.
-l debug_log_file The debug_log_file argument specifies the file that will contain any debug messages from the zone pull.
-t trace_file The trace_file argument specifies the file that will contain a trace from the zone pull.
-p port The port argument specifies the port that will be used instead of the default nameserver port listed in
-n This option must be used when the daemon is running in the network safe mode. It indicates that the zone pull must be
authenticated.
-a auth_type.auth_ver
This option must be used if the daemon is running in the network safe mode. The auth_type argument indicates what type
of authentication to use and the auth_ver argument indicates what version of the authentication type to use. Currently,
the auth_type must be "kerberos" and the auth_ver must be "one".
servers... The servers argument is a list of Internet addresses from which to pull a zone. If the first host cannot be ddreached,
the transfer daemon will try to pull the zone from the next host listed.
