Sounds to me like it's not getting a list of packages from debootstrap for amd64, and so it looks to it like the CD has the base system on it even though it has no debs. This is because debootstrap now resolves deps by default; the place in debian-cd that runs debootstrap to get the list of packages in base doesn't specify a mirror, so debootstrap uses a default (which is a lot of unncessary network activity too), and that default mirror doesn't have amd64 on it. -- see shy jo
