So, does anyone know how to use the basic unix tools to find
the offset of a string in a binary file ?
Specifically, I would like to locate the offset of the string

        "MFS Filesystem goes here"

into a kernel compiled with with MD_ROOT option.
grep does not help because it gives the offset of the "line"
which contains the string (where a "line" begins righr after
a newline).

Any ideas ?

        thanks
        luigi
