Seems to me the solution would be to change the above docs to reflect a
simpler procedure. In other words:

[postgres]$ initdb --locale $LANG -E UTF8 -D '/var/lib/postgres/data'

becomes

[postgres]$ pg_ctl initdb -D '/var/lib/postgres/data' -o '--locale $LANG
-E UTF8 '

Remove 'Create your first database/user' and incorporate that into
'Access the database shell' where the database you connect to is
postgres instead of myDatabaseName and you create the user and database
using SQL commands.
