 Just a couple of suggestions:

1. SATA etc
"So I select the first two modules below."
s/modules/drivers/ - people coming from a distro might be used to
building everything as a module and take it too literally.

2. filesystems -
I would be inclined to drop specific mention of reiser3, and cover
it by "Additionally, any other filesystem not listed here.", but
perhaps some distro(s) used to use it in the last couple of years.

 I guess that defconfig covers almost everything else that is
commonly needed to get a bootable .config.
