chrome-linux.zip contains a 532MB executable called "chrome". My guess is that this is the entire OS outside the kernel compiled into a single executable (there are a couple of libs, likely these internally rely on the library mechanism).
To use this you would need to create a disk image with a bootloader (grub), add an appropriate linux kernel (drivers?), and configure the kernel to launch "chrome" instead of initd. You might be able to cheat by starting with one of the unofficial disk images floating around the net and copying these more official looking files into it.
