What you need to do depends on what hardware you're using. HAL is Hardware Abstraction Layer. No one can tell you what you need to do without knowing what the hardware is.
I just lerk around the MK group lately I don't have a MK installation running, I run alot of LinuxCNC which is what MK is built on. Typical LCNC mo for someone without quite a bit of HAL experience is to run a wizard. The Pncconf to configure Mesa hardware HAL and .ini files, and stepconf for parallel port configs. I'm sure Machinekit probably has a modified version of either of these wizards geared to hardware like the BBB or other small hardware people use. If you installed a Run In Place build these wizards might not be obvious but they should exist as scripts inside the main machinekit directory at least, assuming it's still arranged like LCNC. What you're going to want to do is use one of these graphical wizards and make your hardware selections and that will generate your hal/.ini files. See how things work and go back to the wizard and reconfigure if necessary. If you hand edit the hal file then go back to the wizard it will overwrite your changes so you're best off sticking with the wizard until you know enough to know you'll never need it again. The wizard will allow you to setup 2 linear axis and 1 rotary as you explained your machine is. I'm sure someone will correct me on the MK differences if they exist but I can't imagine they would have changed these things much.
