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

POLYGRAPH-DNS-CFG(1) User Commands POLYGRAPH-DNS-CFG(1)
NAME
polygraph-dns-cfg - DNS server configuration tool
SYNOPSIS
dns-cfg [--option ...]
DESCRIPTION
Given a zone name, DNS names, and IP addresses, dns-cfg builds configuration suitable for use with BIND and, perhaps, other DNS servers.
Dns-cfg output consists of three parts. The first part is the text to cut-and-paste into BIND's named.conf file. This part is sent to the
standard output. The outer two parts are direct and reverse zone files. Those may be quite large and are dumped on disk into the appropri-
ately named files. Dns-cfg can use PGL configuration as the source of information.
OPTIONS
--help list of options
--version
package version info
--config <filename>
PGL configuration
--cfg_dirs <dirs>
directories for PGL #includes
--zone <str>
zone name
--addresses <str>
IP addresses
--names <str>
domain names
