The correct command to run is:

     % qemu-system-aarch64 -m 4096M -cpu cortex-a57 -M virt  
 	-bios QEMU_EFI.fd -serial telnet::4444,server -nographic 
 	-drive if=none,file=VMDISK,id=hd0 
 	-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 
 	-device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0 
 	-netdev user,id=net0

Thank you to Nikolai Lifanov for the correction.
