Thanks! That actually worked :-) !  

This command I issued:

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -machine type=q35,accel=kvm -enable-kvm \
        -cpu host -display gtk -m 1024M \
        devuan_jessie_1.0.0-beta_amd64_cloud.qcow2

And it booted!

Thanks, Aleksei, for this other tip, but that one wouldn't/couldn't work
(not literally applied like the above which did so).
Namely, I have a no-modules all-built-in system.

Really great! I'm happy for this. You brought some joy into this day of
mine!
