Hi guys!

Unfortunately, I can't get my Chromebook dual booting into Kali via my flash drive.

Here's what I've done so far:


I have installed the correct ARM image using Win32 Disk Imager.
I have put my Chromebook into developer mode.
I have repaired my Flash Drive with the command
sudo cgpt repair /dev/sda
I have enabled cross system booting with the command
sudo crossystem dev_boot_usb=1



Now here's the problem: When I try to modify my partition order with
sudo cgpt add -i 1 -T 5 -P 5 -l KERN-A /dev/sda and
sudo cgpt add -i 2 -T 5 -P 10 -l KERN-B /dev/sda I get an error saying


ERROR: cgpt add: -t, -b, and -s options are required for new partitions

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I'll provide my flash drive's current GPT table for reference:


start size part contents
0 1 PMBR
1 1 Pri GPT header
2 32 Pri GPT table
15124959 32 Sec GPT table
15124991 1 Sec GPT header


Also, if it helps, I'm following these two guides:

http://docs.kali.org/armel-armhf/install-kali-samsung-chromebook
http://mihirsingh.com/kali-on-chromebook/


Thanks!

NOTE: I'm completely new to Linux, and so this has proved to be a challenge; Sorry if I'm doing something obviously wrong...

What does "cgpt show /dev/sda" look like.

I don't think this will affect anything, but it's an 8 GB flash drive.
