but it might be different. How bout this, root it using the rooting hero instruction and recovery image, thats probably the best idea

if you have rooted a g1 before than i would use the instant root app . the downside of using the app is not knowing how to actually do something when you run into an issue . but , since you already rooted a g1 , then save yourself the time . use the recovery flasher app to intall cyans recovery . after that , feel fee to update to whatever rom you want ! dont forget to install a terminal emulator and a superuser permissions app from the market .
these days , on the g1 also , many things are much easier to do than before . unlike before when we did everything manually . you should probably do some catching up on what has happed and what is happening with the "dark side"(the rooted community) . anyways , good luck !
