I started the image with
 qemu-system-x86_64  -drive 
media=disk,file=dk1cc2q05zcw6rbc8l8vm7d6zb9rw771-image.qcow2 -m 1.5G 
-bios /usr/share/ovmf/x64/OVMF.fd -smp 3 -nic 
user,model=virtio-net-pci,hostfwd=tcp::2224-:22 -enable-kvm

After changing the resolution of the console, it does not continue the 
boot process.

Somehow I missed the last closing braces.
