<cr> means carriage return. Basically, your only option is to press enter and that will shut down the subinterface. I suppose you could also delete the subinterface if you no longer need it.

What have you done other than the
interface fa0/0.1 and no shut?

Did you set the encapsulation -- either dot1q or isl, depending on your switch (and include the VLAN) on the subinterface?

Did you take the IP address off of the physical interface with the no ip address command?

Did you set your IP address and subnet mask on the subinterface?

Oops, my bad. I didn't read it correctly.

What exactly are you trying to do? if you want the interface to be up, then you have to be in interface configuration,
Router(confg-if)#No shut

If you want to create a interface f0/0.1 then you simply type Router(config)#int f0/0.1
then it will create the interface for you automatically

If you want to remove it, then type in Router(config)#no int f0/0.1

Before you can assign an ip addy to a lan sub-int, you have to have encap set first, and no ip addy on the physical interface. As well as you need an IP Plus IOS, which could be c2600-is-mz.12.0-1.T.bin or HIGHER. The IS in a c2600-is-mz stands for IP plus. Most ip plus ios's will support IEEE 802.1Q Vlan Trunking, any feature set higher then IP Plus, such as Enterprise basic, or w/e will definately support all IP Plus features and more.
