Well, it's still not as finished as I'd like but since I'll be out of town and offline until next week I'm releasing the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module v1.2 User Guide document: http://www.openssl.org/docs/fips/UserGuide-1.2-RC1.pdf. It's still labeled as a draft as I anticipate revisions over the next few weeks.

Feedback on errors/omissions/improvements will be greatly appreciated.

Section 4.2.1 is incorrect, I believe.  The security policy states to
use ./config fipscanisterbuild but the user guide 1.2 rc states the
old method of ./config fips ...

Section 4.2.3 should probably also mention --with-fipslibdir so you can
specify the location of the fipscanister ...

Section 5.3.1, I'd probably mention that you can pass 'fipsld' as the
CC env for configure scripts as well, since many projects use
autoconf/automake.
