If you dont have secondary storage, try using NV-RAM. If not and that you have a specific BIOS that doesn't clear the memory that will also work. There is another work-around you can have in the kernel. It is that you do a warm restart of the OS i.e not through the BIOS. load the boot sector to the memory location and change the EIP to the same. The boot sector should load back the OS again. In the initialization of the OS, remember to isolate this memory that you want to use. I think some of the crash dump utilities that takes the primitive dump on to the memory uses some approach to address it.
