Hi,

Bits of it do, but that page is from a year or so ago and freebsd-arm
is a fast moving target. Also it seems highly specific to that
particular samsung chromebook whereas this is an acer c201p. 

Basically what I *think* I need to do is this:

1. cross-compile arm7 on another machine
2. install to a usb stick
3. boot the chromebook from that stick in order to test to make sure
everything works.

then decide whether to install or not. I think the article you linked
to might be old, for example the bit about wifi, whereas I beleive
this one has atheros wifi chip so it *should* work.
