It's really quite unfortunate that both ISOs have exactly the same ...
everything. :-/
Due to that, it's impossible for libosinfo to differentiate one from the other.

Do you think a RFE could be opened for NetBSD so, for future releases,
they could have different volume ids for different ISOs?

It looks correct! :-)

So, my suggestion ... and I'd do the change before pushing if I get your Ack ...
Could we just mark both as netinst only? As there's no way to
differentiate between them, I'd rather give less information (as
"Network Install") than give wrong information (as showing "Serial
Console") in the one that's not intended for that.

Please, let me know if you agree with that and I'll push the patches
with the changes done. No need to submit a v3. :-)
