You've managed to get the console's stty settings wrong and then you've
got them saved in /etc/ioctl.syscon. There are a number of things you
can do:
1) enter 'stty sane' followed by a linefeed (what there's
no line feed on your keyboard! try ^J :-)
this should usually get you back to a sane state
(you should enter ^J to the TERM=... prompt also)
2) from sash remove /etc/ioctl.syscon (ie 'rm /etc/ioctl.syscon')
init will reboot it and set it to a sane state when the
system reboots
