Not sure we've really considered doing verification for Chromium OS - I don't see much point on a standard machine. If you can't change the BIOS, you can't verify the bootloader, and the whole verification model is broken.

Even if you were running on the custom hardware with modified BIOS, I can't see how it'd know whose signatures to trust?
