No, the Cognos guides only come with pictures in the architecture guides. (also included when you install it)
If you do not feel comfortable installing this, how about contacting Cognos for a one day visit to get the job done, including some on-the-job training?

It's really not that hard to install the software all on one PC.

You need a database for the content store installed and running.
IIS needs to be installed for the website.
If you are installing the BI and Planning then use the same SQL Server/Oracle instance for the BI datastore and the planning data.

I was given access to a single server where I loaded up 8.4 to test out and it was pretty easy.  I will say that performance can take a hit doing it this way but a lot of the defaults for the Cognos setup are set to local host so there aren't a whole lot of changes that need to be made.
