I don't think the BIOS has any interrupts for dealing with USB specifically, you will most likely need to access the USB Hubs and the device manually and ask it for the serial manually.

what you're looking for lays in USB device descriptors (see
clicker code), and should hopefully be the "serial" field.
See
http://www.osdev.org/osfaq2/index.php/USB%20Tutorial for a clue on how those descriptors can be retrieved ... but we still have plenty of work to do about this ...
