As my script has issues, I recommend using this new script from starkers:
https://github.com/starkers/archbook
This will allow you to install on both USB and eMMC using the latest ArchLinuxARM image.
Old steps and README below....

A write-up of the process can be found here: https://blog.omgmog.net/post/installing-arch-linux-arm-on-the-hp-chromebook-11/

- https://gist.github.com/cochrandv/8403647
- http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/samsung/samsung-chromebook
- Enabled developer mode
- Enabled booting from USB devices
- A USB stick (2GB should be fine)
On your Chromebook with Developer Mode enabled:
sudo su -
cd /tmp
wget http://git.io/A3D0 -O install.sh
bash install.sh "/dev/sda"
NOTE: This needs to be run with /bin/bash, not /bin/sh, which is ash.
After you've made a USB stick and booted from it, you can download and run the install.sh again and install to /dev/mmcblk0 (the eMMC) for a much nicer/faster Arch experience.
Log in as the root user which was created during the install process. Then, select which wifi network to join:
wifi-menu mlan0
Then, download and run the install script, but this time on the internal storage:
pacman -Syy wget
wget http://git.io/A3D0 -O install.sh
bash install.sh "/dev/mmcblk0"
Regarding the modification of the PKGBUILD for trousers:
This is the only package you need to modify. When prompted, press y to edit, open in nano or your preferred text editor, find the line that reads:
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
and replace it with
arch=('armv7h')
You can then build and install trousers and vboot-utils with no problem.
I've included a post-install.sh, which you can use to setup the final bits after you've booted your Arch USB stick.
cd /
sh post-install.sh
This will install the following packages:
mate mate-extra xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-server-utils xterm alsa-utils xf86-video-armsoc-chromium xf86-input-synaptics lightdm lightdm-gtk2-greeter
