It's only needed if you're booting an unsupported (by grub) OS; it |
| 13 |
tells grub to just hand off to another bootloader. The +1 tells grub |
| 14 |
to load the first sector of the OS's partition, which is where the |
| 15 |
other bootloader should be embedded. |

As long as you're booting Linux kernels, you can just point grub at |
| 18 |
them without using another bootloader. |
