I don't see how, since it involves an additional reset and a two-step install, but your call
Quote: Plus, since the device is uefi, I believe I would have been unable to use my preferred boot loader (syslinux) had I done that. If one is interested in compiling his own kernel, uefi booting is great if the command-line kernel option is enabled: no boot loader needed. But I don't have time for that right now so I'll be sticking with dual-booting.
Both legacy and UEFI firmware is available for Chromeboxes. Syslinux works fine under UEFI. LE does as well.
