So, can I do this, and how? I always thought I had to wait for the release of Froyo first, then root it.
As an aside, this guy was looking for $400 for this  , a $249 device brand new. Takes all kinds, but I guess that's free enterprise.

Since you already have the NC, send me $200 and I'll tell you how
It is possible, but it is still "experimental" ... the Froyo is still getting tweaked ... if you haven't jumped in yet, I would suggest you wait ... in a few more days, I think there will be gingerbread (the dev's are just trying to eliminate a few bugs) .. I had some kernel crashes and some "sleep of death" issues. But Flash is great! especially with an overclocked kernel at 1.1ghz ... it runs really well
BUT, if you want to know how - you can find out more at xda-developers or androidcentral - both forums have instructions ... the basic scenario is to install Clockwork recovery (you can use the rom manager app that you can download from the Market to install Clockwork); put the froyo rom on an SD card as a zip file; boot into the recovery (hold the N button down while powering on the Nook); make a backup of your current configuration onto the SD card, then tell clockwork to install the zip file from the SD Card.
If you haven't played w/ Froyo yet, I would suggest you try the installation that installs to your SD card instead. It will be slower, but you will see what is functional etc.; then you can decide if you want to install it to your actual NC.
It really isn't too difficult
