1. Its not hard, just follow the tutorials out there for it, if you need the original tutorial firescythe made i can link you to a cached page i saved ages ago when the page died.
2. You do not need vray, any renderer will work, the render settings honestly dont matter that much, your scene lights are the most important part of making lightmaps. If you honestly dont know how to use lights in 3ds max, making lightmaps isnt for you yet.
I could use the tutorial but I can tell you this much it may be in vein cause when it comes to using 3DS max on things other then exporting or importing then it won't be easy for me
