It simply avoids using device prefix later and does not affect access to $prefix in any way.

4.3.2 GNU/Linux

It is relatively easy to boot GNU/Linux from GRUB, because it somewhat resembles to boot a Multiboot-compliant OS.

    Set GRUB’s root device to the same drive as GNU/Linux’s.


AFAIK this is true only if the /boot tree is located inside the root filesystem. If it resides on a partition of its own, then that partition has to be specified as the grub root instead.
