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. - Abhinav
