That is not (and never has been) supported very well by sysinst.
It tries to answer many questions (that would be hard to understand
by new or non-expert users) by looking at the machine it is running
on.

In your case I guess it is the boot method (UEEFI vs. BIOS) that makes
the difference, as for UEFI you would have to select serial console in
the UEFI setup, while for BIOS we can do it in the bootloader.
