You may also want to try the "NetBSD Supported Hardware Database" at
http://projects.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/hw.cgi

Also, the individual platform pages often have links to support
hardware; for example see the detailed information via:
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/i386/hardware.html

And the INSTALL files for each release have detailed hardware information,
for example:
 ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-2.0/i386/INSTALL.html#SCSI host adapters

I do see there is a problem finding this information. Please suggest good
places to link from and good wording for this.
