Sean,

you can easily change the firmware boot flags using my Firmware Utility
Script: https://mrchromebox.tech/#fwscript

you'll want option #4, then select the option for '1s + Legacy Boot
default.'  You can optionally remove the Developer Mode splash screen
completely via option 6.

cheers,
Matt
