The last days I tried to get root access to a HTC Magic running Android OS. After reading lots of websites and blog postings I found this very good 3 step tutorial including videos to show the procedure. Thanks to theunlockr.com for this detailed work!
1st step: Going back to Android 1.5
2nd step: Rooting the HTC Magic
3rd step: Installing custom ROM with root access
Used custom ROM: Dwangs current custom ROM for 32B motherboards
