 This ain't critical nor has a high priority.

 Anyway if you are right and 5.3-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso has VolumeId :
 fbsd_miniinst there's nothing it can be done now. For finding out how to
 modify the volume id of the iso, please post on questions@ (one idea is
 to extract the boot code, mount the iso, create a new iso with the new
 volume id, add the boot code and burn it). Or wait a few days for 5.4
 Release. Frankly I don't understand why you bother with this.
