The guide to setting up a local private testnet using Geth does not work on homestead (Genesis flag is deprecated, javascript console has changed). Here

Probably the instructions using eth are wrong as well, but I don't use Eth and haven't checked.

Note: I've actually already started fixing the geth section, hope that's ok. Should have a pull request for you later today

Some instructions are given here:
https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Command-Line-Options#init

Only the datadir flag usage is shown here, other flags are still valid too.

customgenesis.json is also need to be updated
Fatal: invalid genesis file: hex string has odd length
