Jon,
thanks, some comments, I'm 'out of the box' testing your wiki page as I create a new 16Gb SD system:
[1] Your gdisk instructions are missing the write out of the partition table, you need to add "w" and "y" at the end
[2] Terminal wise, I prefer M. berrange's use of a terminal within the Chrome browser (ctrl-alt-t) as it's easier to cut and paste commands from the web page
[3] You missed out creating the guest account. Unless you worked around this by logging in as root.

Here is another way to setup the partition:
sgdisk --set-alignment=8192 \
--new=1:8192:+16M \
--typecode=1:7f00 \
--change-name=1:"KERN-A" \
--new=2:40960:+16M \
--typecode=2:7f00 \
--change-name=2:"KERN-B" \
--new=3:73728:+500M \
--typecode=3:8200 \
--change-name=3:"SWAP" \
--new=4:1097728:0 \
--typecode=4:8300 \
--change-name=4:"rootfs" \
/dev/sdc
I'm pretty sure it's also possible to set the attributes in gdisk, to eliminate the need for chromeos CGPT cmd.
And the ext4:
mkfs.ext4 -v -b 4096 \
-m 2 \
-L 'rootfs'
-U `uuidgen` \
/dev/sdc4
The above uses a LABEL which makes things nice in Chrome OS because it mounts under '/media/removable/rootfs'
To install F18 beta on the sdcard, just loop mount the latest VFAD image, and copy the bits over.
Slightly more hassle than unpacking a tarball, but well worth it.
I used the Panda image, like so:
wget http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/arm-nightlies/vault/f18-beta-tc1/F18-panda-20121130.img.xz -O /tmp/F18-panda-20121130.img.xz
unxz /tmp/F18-panda-20121130.img.xz
mkdir -p /mnt/{src,dest}
mount -o loop,offset=735051776 /tmp/F18-panda-20121130.img /mnt/src
mount /dev/sdc4 /mnt/dest
( cd /mnt/src ; tar cf - * ) | ( cd /mnt/dest ; tar xvpf - )
umount /mnt/src
From here on involves the chromebook being in dev-mode per the wiki, running verified boot to pack the kernel, etc.
