[coreboot] coreboot image signature

[John Lewis]

Zoran,

I'm a bit confused as to where you are coming from with this - you can
search for ASCII/hex strings using something as light as hexedit. No
need to install a more full-blown hex editor especially. I'm not a fan
of using sledgehammers to crack nuts.

John.
