I had a problem like this too. I ended up deleting the line added by
apt-cdrom, and I replaced it with a file: entry.

I copied the ISO file to a location on the hard disk, and I mounted it
at /mnt/diskimg, then I put this in my sources.list:

deb file:///mnt/diskimg etch main contrib non-free

I hope this helps.
