Superuser update package:

Using a console and fastboot (which can be obtained in various places, look around):
# boot into fastboot by powering off, then turning the phone on with volume-up + power
# unlock
fastboot oem unlock
# boot recovery
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.2-maguro.img
# note the trailing slash when pushing the superuser zip
adb push su.zip /sdcard/
install su.zip from clockwork recovery like you normally would. This is not a permanent recovery flash. That will be available later today.
This is the GSM recovery that you are booting just for the sake of rooting, please don't permanantly flash it until the official release shows up on ROM Manager. It works, but it will fool ROM Manager into thinking you are running the GSM version of the phone, and then allow you to install GSM versions of the ROM, which will then cause problems. Ie, flashing a GSM radio will brick you.
In short, enjoy your root, but be patient for an official recovery release.
In case you flash recovery, you can revert back to stock recovery with this image:
