/boot/boot.b is a file of machine code.  It is binary data and would
not normally be output to a terminal.  Your terminal reads escape
sequences and may be placed into unusual modes when trying to display
random binary data.  You should probably avoid doing that in the
future.  boot.b would not be meaningful unless you were to disassemble
it into human readable assembly language anyway.

It may be possible to reset the terminal.  It depends upon exactly
what type of terminal you are using.  If you were back to the command
prompt, typing 'reset' may do it.
