[CentOS] Virtualizing on CentOS 8

So after much looking I found /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm.
I got everything going except - how do I specify on the command line that I
want a window console to pop up ?
I want to see all the boot messages and then get a login prompt in a window.
I'm sure I'm missing something easy.
I tried the "-vga std" but that did not give me a console window.
