Got my chromebox home today and intended to install standalone openelec as per this thread.
what has happenned:
activated developer mode, removed write protect screw
booted the script as per the thread
ran the script to create a openelec install disk successfully
returned to the main menu
ran the script to create standalone coreboot installer firmware and created a back up of stock firmware, chrome box suggested a reboot, so i rebooted, and now nothing boots.
I can't get any boot menu, no matter what usb stick i have inserted, nothing boots, i press escape and no menu comes up, i have tried the recovery procedure (paprer clip and reboot) and still nothing shows up? i followed the script to a letter, what has happened? and how to a get something to boot to start this over again?
thanks in advance

are you connecting to a TV or monitor? It seems that the resolution used on the SeaBIOS boot screen is not one that all TVs can handle. You can always try blindly selecting your USB installer by pressing [ESC] then [2] and seeing if the installer screen comes up. You might have to play with the timing though. I just reset / reflashed both my i3 and celeron ChromeBoxes here to make sure everything is ok with the files/script, and it appears to be.
