How to Install Arch Linux on Asus Chromebox

I decided to write down the instruction how to install Arch Linux on Asus Chromebox. I replaced my Raspberry Pi with Asus Chromebox as TV media box recently and such instruction will be useful in the case if I want to repeat installation.
I just want to warn - it does not create dual boot with ChromeOS and it just replaces ChromeOS with Arch Linux. I’m fine with such result, because I don’t need ChromeOS on my TV. XMBC is my choice for a TV media box.
