There is not much documentation yet, except for slapd.conf(5). To set
up cn=config from a fresh installation, depending on your Version,
1. add a database config, with rootdn cn=config and rootpw as first
   instance to slapd.conf 
2. create a directory etc/openldap/slapd.d/
3. run ./slapd -h "ldap:///"; -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d/ -f
   /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

To add settings or change values, point your preferred ldap editor to
suffix cn=config and bind as cn=config
