The Display is working all the time. Using NetBSD, it also applies the native 
resolution of the panel.

I used the amd64 install-images on an 64GB USB3-Stick for the following 
pictures. If you want me to copy the installer-images onto the mmc of the 
chromebook, tell me please.

With FreeBSD 11 it freezes. The machine hangs at the moment the kernel tries to 
mount the root-filesystem and does not respond to any keypress anymore. I have 
to shutdown the chromebook by keep pressing on the powerbutton for a few 
seconds.

With OpenBSD 5.8 it „stalls“. The Cursor is blinking but nothing more happens. 
Although the chromebook shuts down when the powerbutton is pressed.

With NetBSD 7.0 it „stalls“ too. The Cursor is not blinking but i can enter a 
„root device“. If nothing is entered it gives me the choice of either „ddb“, 
„halt“ or „reboot“. „Halt" and „Reboot" are working properly, the machine shuts 
down or reboots correctly.

With Dragonfly 4.2 the kernel stops at the moment it tries to mount the 
root-filesystem and asks me to enter the device. The machine has to be shut 
down via holding the powerbutton for a few seconds.

The cbmem-log is from a successful Arch Linux boot.
