And what is compile now in the kernel is shown here as well:

http://netbsd.ouellet.biz/iso/config-20.html

and

http://netbsd.ouellet.biz/iso/config-162.html

for both version.

If that's not supporting what you need, then you will have to recompile 
the kernel to fit your needs.

Hope this help anyway and Alex did a great job at it.
