On my Acer Chromebook C720 early in the boot when SeaBIOS detects a USB stick I need to hit ESC to bring up a menu listing the internal storage and USB stick and make my selection to continue. Otherwise the Chromebook will hang indefinitely. On Mon, Oct 12, 2015 at 10:15 PM, William Park <opengeometry@yahoo.ca> wrote:
Hi,
Canada Computers has "HP Chromebook 11 G3" on sale for $199. So, I bought one. The keyboard is better than other chromebooks or laptops at this price range.
I have done the following successfully: - enabled Developer mode - installed Crouton script and "Crouton Integration" extension for Chrome browser. - installed Ubuntu (trusty, 14.04.xx, XFCE) So, I have ChromeOS and Xubuntu running at the same time.
Now, booting from USB/SD is what I really want. This way, I can keep the Chromebook "clean" by having all Linux stuffs on USB stick. But, for the life of me, I can't get it to boot from USB stick.
I did - crossystem dev_boot_usb=1 dev_boot_legacy=1
What else do I have to do? Has anyone here successfully booted from USB on Chromebook? Help... -- William --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
