Looks like you found the "reference listings" but really want config info,
which I can point you to.

As you have noted, you have choices for networking and volumes: quantum or
nova-network, cinder or nova-volume. Here are pointers to specific docs.

Quantum config:
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-network/admin/content/nova_with_quantum.html

Cinder config:
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/install/apt/content/osfolubuntu-cinder.html

nova-volume:
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/install-nova-volume.html

nova-network:
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/networking-options.html

Since this is "trunk" documentation it changes daily, but these links offer
you more conceptual background info, which I think is what you'll need at
this point in your journey.

P.S. For a complete reference listing of all current nova.conf options,
refer to
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/etc/nova/nova.conf.sample.
Those are what the docs folks will bring into the reference listing for
Grizzly.
