If you want a u-boot prompt then you should look into using the chain-loaded
nv-u-boot on the Chromebook:

http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/how-tos-and-troubleshooting/using-nv-u-boot-on-the-samsung-arm-chromebook

Be careful, if you boot Chrome OS from that prompt: it will kick you out of
developer mode immediately, wiping your stateful partition.
