question 1: printk works, outputting to /dev/console and/or /dev/ttyS0 doesn't

[Benjamin Collar]

Greetings folks

I'm attempting to get a board with an MPC852T up and running. The
subject line pretty much explains what my problem is: printk works just
fine, but I get absolutely no output from writing in userland
to /dev/console or /dev/ttyS0. Does anyone have any idea what that would
be so? Or where I should look to find the problem?

Thanks
Ben
