That's really helpful Ralph. Some of that stuff was still in
/root/.bash_history btw on the vm, no worries though, not that much stuff

I see that you use a raw image and do a snapshot import, that differs a bit
from what I was doing (I was following what Packer does with amazon-import).

Any hints on what you did with the kernel? Did you roll your own?
