Hi. The rooting guide can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849030

Basically you need to have clockworkmod (aka CWM) up and running to be able to install the custom rom you're referring to. Because you've already unlocked your bootloader, you can now begin rooting your device. Follow the steps indicated in the rooting guide.

DONT DO ANYTHING after that, just finish rooting your device. I'm going to try installing this CWM-enabled kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897908, and see if I can boot into CWM to flash the nTWEAKED rom. I'll let you know how it goes.

first of all your on stock (official) rom and didnt root your device ???
so for flashing this rom you need to root your device and have recovery mode too for that check the development section for custom kernels with auto-rooting and CWM too personally i think you should use this one over here :-

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897908

instructions given in the thread how to flash kernel through fastboot mode, follow them ...
after you sucessfully flash the kernel you will have root and CWM...

now to the flashing part :-
1) copy the downloaded nTWEAKED beta V2.zip file in the root of your internal memory
2) boot in recovery by presssing volume +/- when sony logo appears with a vibration and red led glows
3)choose option update from sd
4)choose the file in your case nTWEAKED beta V2.zip
5)installation will start an aroma installer will pop up follow instructions and your done

PS:- cant get simpler than this
