hi,
i vaguely remember that its in a file named dmesg (somewhere in /var) and
that you can display it by invoking dmesg.
does this mean that you can now enter your system? as for the chinese stuff,
somebody (look for iain if im not mistaken) in the sylpheed
[sylpheed.good-day.net] mailing list (he works in hongkong or somewhere near)
who has written an informative guide (albeit a work in progress) about how he
did configure his linux system to display chinese characters. I was hoping that
I could apply it to display japanese characters but nothing so far.
ciao!
