So  I booted to Ubuntu USB, loaded the E-Z script, and flashed the coreboot for standalone again. The flash went fine. But after reboot, I cannot get into the boot manager by pressing "esc" when the logo on the screen comes up - the Chromebox goes straight to Libreelec on the SSD before I can stop it. Tried the USB keyoboard in different ports, still the same result.

And librelelec is still buffering like crazy when I get into it. Only grub.cfg on my install, no syslinux.cfg

But if I have either a Libreelec or Ubuntu usb stick inserted when I reboot, "esc" does not workand the Chromebox goes straight to booting from the SSD. So having flashed to the new firmware, I can now no longer boot from USB.

Booted to Libreelec 9.01 usb install media and did a fresh install. Enabled SSH on entering Kodi. Reboot, then SSH in as explained in the wiki. I have no syslunix.cfg, only grub.cfg.

nano /flash/EFI/BOOT/syslinux.cfg

That is the command I have been entering. If I am reading the contents of the first link above correctly, this file is not in the EFI/BOOT/ sub directory but in /flash/ itself.

I have installed standalone Libreelec 9.01 on a CN60 Chromebox using the EZ setup script. I have also added the "pci=nomsi" line to grub.cfg as explained in the wiki. But my ethernet link is still unusably bad with buffering occurring all the time when the bitrate of the source material is at all high. The step of adding to grub.cfg does not appear to have meaningfully changed the ethernet performance, and I have checked to see the pci-nomsi addition is there after 'quiet'.

This is accessing media stored locally on the network via SMB. Accessing the same media over the network via SMB from a windows PC, all works well.

Any help much appreciated.

on a fresh install of LE9 in conjunction with my UEFI firmware, the proper file to edit is /flash/syslinux.cfg, not grub.cfg
