It's warning you that back-ldap does not support dynamic configuration
using back-config

Poor choice, if you start from scratch (poor choice in any case).

see above.  It's harmless, as soon as you do not intend to run-time modify
the configuration of slapd.

As I'm not psychic I can only guess.  Sorry for asking silly questions;
did you load any data into slapd?  Did you load it as root and then ran
slapd as another user?  does "/etc/openldap/db/dn2id.dbb" exist?  does any
of the portions of that path exist?
