Try:
qemu -L . -hda hd.img -cdrom SimplyMEPIS-2004.04.iso -boot d -user-net

It seems that the batch file is trying to boot the hard drive image
instead of the ISO image. Obviously, since the HD image hasn't been
initialized with a proper OS, it will fail.
Appearently the batch file worked because it passes the "-L ." flag to
QEMU, but sticked to bootin the HD by default.
I hope that's it, and now everything should work OK. Let me know :)
Cheers,
A.
