It has a 1 minute timeout and then the build will kill the process.

The bootlog is uploaded in all cases so you can then look at the log.
Here is an example where i didn't configure QEMU right: https://dev.azure.com/tianocore/edk2-ci-play/_build/results?buildId=4942&view=logs&j=6fb09fdb-58e7-5b12-0698-873f788bd2e9&t=e63402bd-99b5-5ddd-38f9-868e9402ecc0

And the last lines in the bootlog.txt show

MaxCpuCountInitialization: BootCpuCount=1 mMaxCpuCount=1
