I mistakenly did not back up the stock firmware; what might I 'lose' if I go back to vanilla Chrome? It seems like some things are tied to firmware (eg. MAC address).
If I were to go back to the recovery firmware boot, what would the Chrome OS lack (mac addr?) ?
thanks!
well, your MAC address would be the same as it is now (the "default" value), but that wouldn't have any real effect, save if you had more than one ChromeBox with that MAC connected to the same router. The only thing you'd need to change is your device's hardware id (from the generic value in the recovery firmware), so that you'd be able to receive ChromeOS updates. I'll add that to the wiki shortly
