You'll be better off learning how to configure things yourself. It
isn't as hard as it looks.

It's "reserved", not "reservated". But anyway, add a block like:

host somehostname {
	hardware ethernet 00:11:22:33:44:55;
	fixed-address 10.0.0.1;
}

to your dhcpd.conf for each host you want to hard-code.
