This is the best method I've found to root the D1: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-labs/74028-root-droid-1-regardless-os-version.html. Take your time to read through it. If you have any questions, just post them in that thread. Theres a lot of helpful people there.

I used the universal androot app (not avaliable in the market) to root my milestone (gsm droid 1). It also allows an unrooting option but doesn't flash a new recovery. so really it will only let you run root apps and overclock. Try researching the Z4 root app (also not avaliable in the market).
