[comp.sys.sun] How do I get the console back on a SPARCstation?

This is probably one of those questions that everyone but a brand new
SPARCstation user like myself knows, but without rebooting the system, how
can I restore my SPARCstation console so that it will accept logins.

The situation is that I am trying to figure out X-Windows and keep getting
either the console locked up so that it won't accept keystrokes, or into a
state where pressing any key results in several linefeeds being sent.  I
can use a remote terminal, but I need an easy way to restore the console
to the condition that it is in when you first start up the SPARCstation.

email replies will be appreciated.  Thanks.
