Has anyone tried running #NetBSD on a Dell #Chromebook 3100 (fleex)?

Has anyone tried running #NetBSD on a Dell #Chromebook 3100 (fleex)? I don't have the logs right now but despite initializing eMMC it only manages to mangle the partition table and fails installing

I recall that @weirdtreething attempted it on a similar Chromebook and also got stuck on eMMC.
(running the OS off of a USB pendrive would probably work okay, assuming that the generic/fallback drivers work).

Honestly more interested in the idea of converting the early Celeron models into fast*, power-efficient MS-DOS machines.
- add new keyboards and square displays
- bolt on Sound Blaster cards (see @rasteri 's dISAppointment adapter or the PicoGUS)
- embedded controller code is open source, so one could probably work some magic that way
- bake the DOS into the BIOS flash, like @domi 's old Win 3.1 project

* faster than the VIA/Geode/Transmeta nuggets, at any rate

The dISAppointment is supposed to work on any Intel-based PC up to the Broadwell, at least in theory.
