\setupnotation[footnote][way=bychapter]

\starttext
\dorecurse{5}
{\startchapter[title=New Chapter]
   \dorecurse{5}{\input ward\footnote{A quote by ward}}
\stopchapter}
\stoptext

With regard to your other thread about documentation of footnotes, the way 
I understand it is that \setupnotation is used to configure how the actual 
footnote is displayed and setupnotation has similar options to 
\setupdescription. So, alternative=serried corresponds to a similar option 
for descriptions.

Note that the above is for MkIV. For MkII, I think that you need 
\setupfootnotes insted of \setupnotation[footnote].
