Disagree, I've seen tons of terrible sod jobs from people who have no idea what they are doing or how to prep or lay it correctly.

Dump loam, landscape rake it out, weighted roller, lay sod, water, enjoy.

This 100% - rototilling will just create a mushy base of poor soil. Do exactly what Sliver says and you'll be perfect. (and make sure it's not just a skim of new loam, have a nice base of 4-6")
Actually, the only thing I would add to his instructions is after you've raked everything you'll want to add a root starter fertilizer before laying the sod - not on top after you've laid it.
