oops. yes. here's an example:

/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -boot c -name  "w7" -m 6G -smp 4 -M
pc_q35 -cdrom
/images/isos/en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332.iso
-hda /images/w7-q35.img  -vnc :5 --enable-kvm -bios
/root/seabios/seabios/out/bios.bin -acpitable
file=/root/seabios/seabios/out/q35-acpi-dsdt.aml -monitor stdio
