AWS requires a XEN3_DOMU kernel, so when using sysupgrade(8), use -o
KERNEL=XEN3_DOMU
Also, sysupgrade(8) by default puts the kernel in `/' i.e. the new
kernel is placed at /netbsd. But in AWS we use grub, which expects the
kernel to be at /grub/boot/netbsd. I am not sure how to tell
sysupgrade(8) to put the new kernel in /grub/boot, I just do it
manually.
