if you just want simple-cdd to include and install the 686 kernel, include in
profiles/default.conf:

  kernel_packages="linux-image-2.6-686"

if you need the 686 kernel running during install, that's complicated. the
hardest part is building a custom debian-installer image.  see the section
"Howto build the install cd with a custom debian Installer":
