I have one of those Chromebooks but I have not tried to boot FreeBSD. =
The wiki page is obsolete. It references a configuration file =
CHROMEBOOK-SNOW which was removed in 2019 by the commit below. I don't =
know if the Chromebook kernel was in the "not working" category or =
"switched to GENERIC" category.

All those kernels are either not working or the release have =
switched
to GENERIC
