Omitting the model gets it to boot.  However, Xorg fails and logind fails.  I 
can't log into the system.

Finally getting back to this.  Instructions don't work either.  The `-nic` 
param is unsupported, and the `virtio-net-pci` is an unsupported nic model.

CC'ing my work email where I'm seeing this.  Host OS is CentOS 7.7.

At the very least you will need to allocate some more RAM, for example
with '-m 4096'; that will provide 4 GB RAM to the virtual machine. The
default of 128 megabytes is not enough.

But I agree with the other responders, you should copy the instructions
in our manual unless you need to do something specific.

I hope that helps!
