Since it's the kernels where grub's installed, there are three ways:
1) Set "GRUB_DEFAULT=N" in "/etc/default/grub" where N is the number
of the menuentry of the kernel that you want to boot (where the first
is 0 not 1) and run "update-grub".
2) Set "GRUB_DEFAULT=saved" and "GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true", run
"update-grub", and boot from the kernel that you want to use by
default.
3) Set "GRUB_DEFAULT=saved", run "grub-set-default N", and run "update-grub".
I have no idea what the advantages and disadvantages of the three methods are...
