It's only needed if you're booting an unsupported (by grub) OS; it
tells grub to just hand off to another bootloader. The +1 tells grub
to load the first sector of the OS's partition, which is where the
other bootloader should be embedded.
As long as you're booting Linux kernels, you can just point grub at
them without using another bootloader.
