As part of installing proxmox on a dedicated server running Debian, it installed a new kernel. As part of the install instructions, I am supposed to choose the new kernel in grub. However I dont have a virtual console for accessing the server at the time of boot. The only thing I can do, is to run an ssh console to the server after it boots. How can I select the pv kernel as default for boot time?
I am running Debian Wheezy on the server, and installed proxmox 3.

. From the Grub manual:
