Setting up a Chromebook 3

The command to make the Chrome OS filesystem writable has changed. It’s now:

chronos@localhost / $ sudo /usr/share/vboot/bin/make_dev_ssd.sh --remove_rootfs_verification --partitions 4

So the whole process now boils down to:

  1. Turn on dev switch
  2. Reboot
  3. Let machine reimage itself
  4. Reboot
  5. Run above command
  6. Reboot
  7. Edit /usr/bin/cros-term

Why they persist in using a 12pt antialiased font, I’ll never know. It looks like crap.
