Maybe the ARM chromebooks use UEFI, I don't remember. 

Anyway, some ARM boards start to take PCI peripherals, and then you have to 
enumerate, allocate resources, initialise, run option ROMs (hopefully optional
or free, but often not)... Coreboot already had this kind of stuff done.
I don't know if with u-boot you could attach a sata controller to the PCI
port of an ARM board and boot from a sata disk attached to that controller. 

Things like this, I think. But I don't really remember well.
