So booting into developer mode will leave me with two partitions? Forgive my ignorance, I've been a Mac user my entire digital life

12 actually, in a GPT setup: http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chro...OS-devices

The dual boot setup makes use of one or two of the unused ones, and resizes them and user state partition as needed.

A standalone setup will use whatever type (usually MBR) and however many partitions are dictated by the OS at the time of install (two for OpenELEC).

Hello Matt. First of all thank you for your great work and your patience answering all these questions.
Here is one more for you. I have an Asus Chromebox running standalone Openelec. Today I tried to update the firmware using your standalone firmware updates scrip and I got this:

ChromeBox Firmware Updater v1.1
© 2014 Matt DeVillier <[email protected]>
**************************************************

!! WARNING !!
This firmware is only valid for the Haswell-based Asus/HP/Acer/Dell
ChromeBoxes with Celeron 2955U, Core i3-4010U, Core i7-4600U CPUs.
Use on any other device will almost certainly brick it.

Do you wish to continue? [y/N] y

Checking if update available...

Error: unable to determine current firmware version; aborting.

Any idea what can be wrong?
Thanks

from a ssh shell:

Code:

dmesg | grep "Panther" | pastebinit

and post the URL. The updater script tries to determine the firmware version by parsing the kernel log, but failed to do so in your case.
