Installed rEFIt 0.14 on my 13" Macbook Pro 5,5 with Nvidia graphics, rebooted with the USB stick in, selected "Linux on hard drive" in rEFIt, and it somehow worked. Didn't mod anything, just took a shot in the dark, and it somehow worked. Just wish I could get wifi to connect :( I think I got lucky… Installed rEFIt 0.14 on my 13″ Macbook Pro 5,5 with Nvidia graphics, rebooted with the USB stick in, selected “Linux on hard drive” in rEFIt, and it somehow worked.

I burned a cd with the efi disk image and used that to select the usb drive. Worked the first time. Logged in with my gmail account no problem. Thanks for the work- great job Derek!

I will give that a try. Sadly, I was only able to get the original method to boot the first time. All other attempts at booting ChromeOS would hang at the second EFI boot loader (from the "bootloader" USB drive). Will let you know if the fuse-ext2 method works for me. Thanks again, -Mike Awesome Derek, thanks for the update. I will give that a try.

The method isn't very elegant and i'll probably put up a blog post with more details soon, but the gist of it is this: 1. Using fuse-ext2 you mount your ChromeOS drive as writable 2. Copy the /efi folder to the root directory of the ChromeOS drive 3. Make sure rEFIt is enabled and then reboot holding option 4. Select rEFIt and then boot to rEFIt's EFI Shell 5. Change the current directory to the /efi/boot directory on the ChromeOS drive 6. Run bootia32.efi and you should get the Grub boot menu.

Only question I have is if ChromeOS can actually be installed? Things were laggy, graphic-wise, for me and I assume that is due to running off the USB stick. I'd also prefer to not have to plug in these two USB sticks every time I want to boot into ChromeOS. Running on a Macbook Pro, version 5,4.

I found one phenomenon: when using a large USB driver, for instance, a 4G one, my macbook cannot detect the bootloader USB during starting up. However, when using a small one, I use a 128M one for testing, it can load the GRUB and then boot Chomium OS Flow successfully. I also install rEFIt for trial before I tried the method above, but failed. The same message showed in the screen, as Derek's, that is something like legacy booting error. The reason might be incompatibility between a up-to-date EFI version and rEFIt. But I still have one problem. When I reached the login interface, I cannot actually login. After I typed my gamil account and password, Chrome OS didnot login but maintained in the login window with user and password blank. Maybe it is because the Chrome could not find the network setting, or something else. Any tips to such a situation? No mouse could be used in the login window as well.
