  First I'd like to thank all the people who sent mail about
  my previous posting (cc insanity).
    I disklabel'ed my HDD with 20MB swap partition, newfs new partition,
  and reinstalled 386bsd. Then, voila! it worked!
  Now I am enjoying the 'not-dying' system. (although it's slow still)

  ...But another problem occured during using the 'hanterm', Korean version
  of xterm. It can display Korean texts with MSB set (the same to most
  oriental languages, such as kanji etc), but I couldn't input Korean text.
  Hanterm itself provides Korean input automata, and it should work well
  with X11R5. Another test shows that kernel seems to have trouble with
  multibyte characters.
    % cat
    test
    test (echoed to tty)
    ^D
    % cat
    xxxx(entered korean characters -- it can be seen when typing)
    (but no echo to tty!)
    ^D (this DIDN'T work)
    ^C
    %
  So, what's the problem? If I cannot use hangul in 386bsd, it loses
  practicality...Help!
