hi,

thanks for quick reply... i'm planning to buy a new pc and there is 
possibility to have classic or s-ata inside...

>>are s-ata controllers and disks supported in netbsd?
> Yes, see below for an example.
are many different sata controllers supported? i.e. should i care about 
the controller that would be on the mainboard? is there any list of 
supported s-ata controllers?

> It is included in generic kernels.
and it is not included in install kernels? so is it necessary to build 
custom install kernel?

regards,
