G'day,

sorry for late reply, but I was away from home. Here is what the kernel had to 
say:

jmide0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0: JMicron Technology JMB361 SATA/PATA 
controller
jmide0: 1 PATA port, 1 SATA port
jmide0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 16 (irq 10)
ahcisata0 at jmide0
ahcisata0: AHCI revision 1.0, 2 ports, 32 command slots, features 0xc722e000
atabus0 at ahcisata0 channel 0
atabus1 at ahcisata0 channel 1

I don't have a SATA harddisk, so I can not verify if the controller works at 
all.

I tried building a new release with current system sources, but it currently 
fails during compilation of XEN kernels. I'm currently running NetBSD-i386 
v4.99.34 as of 5th of November.

cheerio Berndt
