I think that Plan9Port using the underlying Linux OS might be a better
choice.  I have also been thinking about cross-compiling from a Plan9
install (such as that on Raspberry Pi) to Samsung ARM based ChromeBook.

Getting Plan9 to work with fastboot and implementing device drivers for the
various ChromeBooks might be a lot of work.  Don't know enough to justify
my assumptions though.
