question -- booting from USB on Chromebook ?
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
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:

I get screen with message OS verification is OFF Press SPACE to re-enable.
From online articles, I'm supposed to press Ctrl-U or Ctrl-L here, but it just beeps. For this HP Chromebook, it doesn't hang. I eventually get Chrome login screen. -- William
