Using the same flash drive that I had written the .img to with Win32 Disk Imager previously, I verified it was bootable with MobaLiveCD. Put it back in the chromebox and was able to boot to it and install. Perhaps I was having so much trouble initially because I was relying on the installer within the update...if it doesn't work why hasn't it been removed yet? That probably would've saved me some grief. Thanks for the help!
it does work, just a lot less reliably. I'll have to talk to the OE dev team about removing it, but I think the way they have the files labeled on the download page makes it pretty clear to use the image file for installation and the update file for updating
I guess the differences listed on the download page weren't obvious to me and when the update files included a usb installer, I assumed it would be bootable. After checking their wiki and reading the installation instructions, I do see that they recommend using the .img and Win32 Disk Imager.... Guess I should pay a bit more attention next time to save myself some time!
