Oops, that's not right.

svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs MyNewRepository

Will convert an empty directory called MyNewRepository in the current
directory into a repository.

I recommend using the --root option to specify a root directory in
which to place your repository directories.

Assuming you are using Windows:

mkdir c:\svn_repos
mkdir c:\svn_repos\test1
svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs c:\svn_repos\test1
svnserve.exe --daemon --root c:\repos

You should then be able to use TSVN to checkout svn://YourServerURL/test1

I would also recommend running svnserve as a service (for which the
docs are correct :-)
