I think things have changed since you started this work a while back
-- hey, it's android, right?

First off, my phone when turned on says 'fastboot mode'. Does this
maybe mean it's already unlocked? It certainly doesn't match what the
various sites say I should expect to see. It does indicate that it is
locked, however.

Second off, I just pulled this down:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (the mac version),
patiently waited while I did a
tools/android update sdk

and got lots and lots and lots of stuff, but ... no fastboot.

The link on this page http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot goes
to an HTC site -- is that really what I want for a samsung phone?

Ah, ok, went to the linux tools and it's there.

So, first step, everyone: in spite of the docs you see on many Android
pages, you may not have fastboot on OSX. Just Linux.
