As far as I can tell, it's either their for your benefit, or something
else pays attention to it while setting up GRUB.
There's a boot command that can be used with GRUB, and it isn't used
like that. You can infer it's presence at the end of an item in the
grub.conf file, like below. Where it'd mean start booting, now, you've
read all the configuration options.
title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.1830_FC4)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1830_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.1830_FC4.img
boot
If you were typing those command lines into the GRUB shell, to boot up
manually, boot would be the last command that you'd type. It's not
needed in the grub.conf files, though.
