You could do ugly things like this:

        int i;
        char *bios = __va(0xf0000);

        for(i = 0; i < 0x10000 - 19; i++) {
                if(memcmp(bios + i, "Soekris Engineering", 19) == 0) {
                        printk("soekris string found at 0x%x\n", i);
                }
        }

The string "net4801" is also in there (although I'm using a 4826).

If anyone knows a better way, I'd like to know it too.
