Removing the "Chrome OS is missing or damaged" screen

Question

I installed Ubuntu and removed ChromeOS on my Chromebook using a live-boot USB drive and now when I boot up I have to press CTRL+L to boot. If I don't I see a screen that says ChromeOS is missing or damaged.

Is there a way that I can have the Chromebook boot right into Ubuntu without seeing that message? (FYI: I did not use Crouton or Chrubuntu to install -instead I used a ubuntu live boot external hard drive.)

Try taking a look a the GBB flags.

Follow this article This should work until you reach the part where it says ("Use the “Restore Stock Firmware (full)” option. Type “9” and press “Enter” to run it.") You will see option 4 is for setting boot options.
