I'm using ja_JP.UTF-8 in ssh *and* on serial console since at least 
6-STABLE. However, since the current console driver only supports 8 bit 
character representation, console support is rendered useless.
So for local display/keyboard, we'll have to wait until we get a 
VGA/framebuffer console that supports displaying of more than 256 
characters.
