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.
