admittedly, i haven't much tested simple-cdd 0.3.7 with etch- it was
mostly focusing on getting it working with lenny... i don't think there
should be major problems, but it hasn't been as well tested with etch as
previous versions.

could you post a link to the contents of profiles/default.packages? the
format is one package per line, lines beginning with # are comments.
could you also post any other profiles files you've modified?

yes, anything in profiles/default.packages should get installed, and be
installed from the CD.
try uncommenting the following lines in profiles/default.preseed, which
were changed since the previous version and may still be used by etch:
#base-config apt-setup/uri_type select cdrom
#base-config apt-setup/cd/another boolean false
#base-config apt-setup/another boolean false
another idea would be to use an unmodified default profile with a custom
profile, such as:
profiles/myprofile.packages
profiles/myprofile.preseed
and then build with that profile:
build-simple-cdd --profiles myprofile
good luck and live well,
vagrant
