All Credit for the hack and steps goto Alldroid.org and the hack founder Zinx
AllDroid.org - View topic - Droid rooted
I'm including a easier step by step for those wanting to root there phones without needing to merge and edit/rename etc. If this is a duplicate sorry and ill delete it, if not enjoy.
-Download the merged Superuser.zip/2.01 update file.
update.zip
-Copy the file to your SD card's top directory /Sdcard
-Shut down the phone
-Turn on the phone while holding power and X on the keyboard
-When you see the Recovery Menu icon (!) Press Volume up+Camera Button
-Choose to load the update
-Reboot
To Confirm you have Root:
-Download form the marketplace Drocap2 for Root Users
-Install
If Drocap2 works you have root, Grats!
-=Pic using Drocap2 and Android Terminal Emulator
*Needed Disclaimer, I take no responsibility for anything and everything that can happen during or after you decide to root your device. Rooting the Droid gives you Admin access to your device so all the failsafes Motorola designed into the device to prevent you and/or the latest greatest marketplace root program from bricking your phone will be bypassed. The hack due to its infacy and lack of recovery rom is expected to be used by individuals who understand the consequences of such.
