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. --=20 =BBQ=AB --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
