Glad to hear you got it working. :)

The Chromebook is quite an awesome ARM laptop. I'm hoping to get
one of the new ones (8 cores and 4GB of RAM) in the near future.
It should make a serious dent in the EL7 (((re)re)re) build time. ;)

Are you sure this isn't the standard issue of no getty running
on tty1? Try Alt-F2, it might just drop you on the login prompt.

Are you running off external media or have you configured it
to run off built in MMC flash? If you are running from external
media check:

/etc/init/start-ttys.conf
/etc/sysconfig/init

for the ACTIVE_CONSOLES configuration. I usually change it
to disable getty on tty1 so the boot messages get preserved
for any debugging that may be required.

Is there a way to bypass init and drop to single user mode? I
think
there have been some changes since the wiki entry was written.
Firmware version is Google_Snow.2695.117.0

Possibly. The newer firmwares dropped the /boot/vmlinuz-3.4.0
file, but all that means is that you need to specify the raw
kernel partition as the kernel source to the vbutil_kernel
command. I am not aware of any other relevant changes.
