In the same way i told you to kill minicom, change consoles like Greg told
you.
ps ax | grep pico
kill 12345 where 12345 is the field shown from ps ax

You cant edit a device file there nothing to be edited, if a console
becomes all mixed up, ie the prompt does not return to the lefthand side,
then type reset.
You will not run out of consoles.
If one becomes completly unusable, because you did sommat wrong, simply log
out and then back in again.
