unfortunately it wasn't a whole 9 yards guide, but it AT LEAST had the files I needed to get it rooted. I still have not dived into loading a rom on it because I havn't found a guide yet for loading Cyanogen with the original (yet, I'm sure there are plenty).
Rooting your Droid and flashing a Rom w/ ADB the EASY WAY
There's the link to where I got the rooting file. If you can wait, I suggest waiting until you have a better guide handy. (I can't, I need to reflash my OS and it seems stupid not to root and install a decent Rom while I'm at it!!!)
