No, it's to do with how it reads *that* partition.
13.3.4 chainloader
------------------
-- Command: chainloader [`--force'] file
Load FILE as a chain-loader. Like any other file loaded by the
filesystem code, it can use the blocklist notation to grab the
first sector of the current partition with `+1'. If you specify the
option `--force', then load FILE forcibly, whether it has a
correct signature or not. This is required when you want to load a
defective boot loader, such as SCO UnixWare 7.1 (*note SCO
UnixWare::).
