Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to include source lines for etch, run
'aptitude update && aptitude upgrade', then 'aptitude dist-upgrade'.
During the last stept you have to make sure aptitude doesn't try to
remove packages you really need. Maybe you have to run it a few times to
resolve all dependencies. That's it.

Why do you need to build an initrd yourself when installing from
scratch?

686 should be fine.
