I have tried with two different USB flash drives on my CELES. When running the chrx script it bogs at the formatting portion with the following error:

Installing to target disk /dev/sda1

The command used was

cd ; curl -Os https://chrx.org/go && sh go -t /dev/sda1 -d galliumos -m ca1.us -r nightly -H bismouth -U tocantonto -p dev-misc -Z America/Los_Angeles

Does chrx only work if installed to the whole device rather than a partition?
THANKS

@tocantonto We should do more to catch that error, but yep -- the working syntax is -t /dev/sda, instead of -t /dev/sda1 (so yes, specify the disk device, not the partition device).

It would also be reasonable to try to install to specific partitions (external media only), but the code does not do so. It will, however, choose partition 1 for external media by default. Coexistence with ChromeOS on the internal storage requires partition 7.

PS: A couple minor items:

Thanks for all the good information. Intentional play with the name. My 3.0 Bismuth install is a little weird, so i'm trying a nightly install. Cheers!
