MVME162 BSP Issues

Okay, if I make any progress at all I should be able to steal network
Code from the MVME167 BSP - my 162 and 167 boards (at least) use the
Same NIC chip.

Yep, I had already dug through the console.c code for both the 162 and
167 BSPs and noticed that the 162 BSP didn't have the termios code.

Hopefully I can get things working although it's going to be on a part
time basis.  I need to build a system to do some data capture but it's
currently a low priority project.

On the seriously bad side though I seem to have some problems with the
development tools.  I've discovered that the printf function doesn't
work right for me.  If I do a printf of a newline terminated string it
prints to the console.  If the string does not end with a newline or
if the string contains any kind of formatting commands (%s, %d, etc.)
then processor halts.  If I can't sort this out then trying to do any
kind of testing or development is going to be very tricky.
