I didn't get any tanks! :(

You want the address in pmode? No problem there: just keep the table you get from the BIOS and read the address out of it from pmode. If you're determined to find a more difficult way of asking the BIOS for it from pmode or interrogating the hardware without asking the BIOS, good luck with that.
