Oh right. It only boots to console after you install it. That's because
live-config scripts will enable auto-login to desktop and console. To
disable that in a live session, press TAB at the boot menu and edit the
chosen boot entry to add 'noautologin noxautologin'.

I don't know how to drop to console in qemu. I get the same as you (host
system drops to console.) In virtualbox, right-ctrl-F2 works.
