I'm trying to install Ubunto on a HP Chromebook 14, using the instructions from the Arch wiki for installing linux on chromebooks:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chrome_OS_devices
I was able to enter dev mode and get root access. I think I was also able to enable SeaBIOS because I didn't get an error message when I ran the command from the wiki:
# crossystem dev_boot_usb=1 dev_boot_legacy=1
However, when I try the next step of rebooting and typing
Ctrl + L at the white splash screen, it just beeps without rebooting, then loads Chrome OS. I've tried the same thing with a couple other linux distros on USB drives, and none of them will boot. I tried my Ubuntu usb on another computer and it booted fine. Any way to get my chromebook to boot into Ubuntu, so I can install it on the Chromebook? I don't want to use Crouton becaue I want to entirely remove Chrome OS.
