Help! scrolling numbers and letters
Hello all I am a unix newbie....
I have a sun netra t1 and it is freaking out
I am connected to it through a console port, and it is just spitting out a ton on numbers and letters like below its just keeps going and going.
I have tried rebooting it and I cannot get it back to any kind of a prompt when it boots up it immediatly goes into the scrolling.
I have tried doing a stop a; ctrl break etc to get to an ok prompt but no luck.
Any suggestions???

refer
refer(1) User Commands refer(1)
NAME
refer - expand and insert references from a bibliographic database
SYNOPSIS
refer [-ben] [-ar] [-cstring] [-kx] [-lm,n] [-p filename]
[-skeys] filename...
DESCRIPTION
refer is a preprocessor for nroff(1), or troff(1), that finds and formats references. The input files (standard input by default) are
copied to the standard output, except for lines between `.[' and `.]' command lines, Such lines are assumed to contain keywords as for
lookbib(1), and are replaced by information from a bibliographic data base. The user can avoid the search, override fields from it, or add
new fields. The reference data, from whatever source, is assigned to a set of troff strings. Macro packages such as ms(5) print the fin-
ished reference text from these strings. A flag is placed in the text at the point of reference. By default, the references are indicated
by numbers.
When refer is used with eqn(1), neqn, or tbl(1), refer should be used first in the sequence, to minimize the volume of data passed through
pipes.
OPTIONS
-b Bare mode -- do not put any flags in text (neither numbers or labels).
-e Accumulate references instead of leaving the references where encountered, until a sequence of the form:
.[
$LIST$
.]
is encountered, and then write out all references collected so far. Collapse references to the same source.
-n Do not search the default file.
-ar Reverse the first r author names (Jones, J. A. instead of J. A. Jones). If r is omitted, all author names are reversed.
-cstring Capitalize (with SMALL CAPS) the fields whose key-letters are in string.
-kx Instead of numbering references, use labels as specified in a reference data line beginning with the characters %x; By
default, x is L.
-lm,n Instead of numbering references, use labels from the senior author's last name and the year of publication. Only the first
m letters of the last name and the last n digits of the date are used. If either of m or n is omitted, the entire name or
date, respectively, is used.
-p filename Take the next argument as a file of references to be searched. The default file is searched last.
-skeys Sort references by fields whose key-letters are in the keys string, and permute reference numbers in the text accordingly.
Using this option implies the -e option. The key-letters in keys may be followed by a number indicating how many such fields
are used, with a + sign taken as a very large number. The default is AD, which sorts on the senior author and date. To sort
on all authors and then the date, for instance, use the options `-sA+T'.
FILES
/usr/lib/refer directory of programs
/usr/lib/refer/papers directory of default publication lists and indexes
