To my best knowledge "netinstall CD" is a CD with a netinst ISO
burnt onto it.
https://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/
Another usage opportunity for a amd64 netinst ISO is to put it onto a
disk-like medium, e.g. a USB stick.
ISOLINUX, debian-cd, and xorriso contribute their share to make the
ISO work on this kind of media.

Later GRUB joined the team after Matthew J. Garrett of Fedora
demonstrated how to combine its EFI boot image with the Legacy BIOS
boot image of ISOLINUX.

debian-cd produces ISOs of various sizes from <=700 MiB ("netinst")
to 50 GB ("DLBD") and for all officially supported CPU architectures.

That would rather be a Debian Live ISO, which is too large for CD media
but may be put onto DVD or BD media or onto a disk-like medium.
https://www.debian.org/CD/live/
Same boot equipment as amd64 netinst CD ISO and other debian-cd amd64
ISOs, but with different payload and partly different use cases.
The purpose of netinst and the other debian-cd ISOs is quite solely
installation of Debian to a hard-disk-like device.
The Live ISO has the main purpose of demonstrating Debian without
installation. Thus the various desktop flavors. (But none for fvwm,
i fear.) Live ISO nowadays offers two installation tools: Calamares
and debian-installer. The latter serves on the debian-cd ISOs, too.

Both projects are closeley related. A report for one will probably
catch the attention of both.
Have a nice day :)
