That Image is too old. That I believe predates amd64 becoming official,
or at least would be very close to the transition time.
You probably at least want to remove the cdrom entry from sources.list

Get rid of those, if you are using etch. They are of no use and might
cause problems (although most likely they will do nothing).

Well I guess some of the old sarge packages would work until everything
makes it into etch, although then again some might not work. Not sure.

It does look like it should work. Unfortunately having installed with
what is probably the wrong or at least too old cd image might be a
problem. Etch does change a lot right now.
