The warnings in the web page https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Chromebook led me not to try FreeBSD. None of the many bugs seemed likely to ever be fixed. I'm not using it so I could try an experiment, but fighting with u-boot is not how I want to spend my days. Even the popular Raspberry Pi takes skill or luck. (So "build an arm6 world and copy X, Y, and Z to the DOS partition on your USB drive" is the kind of advice I need to supplement the old Chromebook wiki page.) There is at least a little value in getting it to work because the armv6 code is bit rotting and will go away entirely unless people use it.
