Description

Hey All,

I stumbled on the site while trying to find a way for dual-booting on a Chromebook so not 100% being the target audience I believe.

While the manual is relatively easy to follow for someone who has done similar things in the past and it does work as intended, I think it also presupposes that people will be aware that ChromeOS cannot be booted from Submarine (https://github.com/FyraLabs/submarine/issues/20#issuecomment-3679633774). Mainly, the section where steps are outlined for installing Submarine on internal storage misses on the info that you basically cannot boot ChromeOS afterwards.

Moreover, I would also add that while still using external storage for Submarine, resizing the main filesystem partition causes ChromeOS to panic and when booting from Depthcharge it wipes the entire (already resized partition) clean. Which is again, maybe obvious but wanted to point that out as well.
