For amd64 I don't have to add 'pseudo-device iscsi'. When you start
the iscsid, the pseudo-device driver is loaded automatically as
a kernel module.

On other archs, that do not yet support modules, I have added
the pseudo-device like you. But I'm not sure if that already
worked for netbsd-6.
The whole construct of iscsi driver and iscsi daemon is still
flakey. Both parts keep session states, killing iscsid will
lose part of the state and only unloading the module will clean up
the remaining parts and that's not possible if you have a builtin
driver. If you kill iscsid while having set up an iscsi session
and you cannot unload the driver, you should reboot.
