TODO: better/different to install xen-linux-system instead of xen-tools?

aptitude install xen-tools

linux-system

Adjust grub so the default boot item is Xen (ref: https://xen-orchestra.com/cant-find-hypervisor-information-in-sysfs/)

dpkg-divert --divert /etc/grub.d/08_linux_xen --rename /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen
update-grub
shutdown -r now
