Comment 25 for bug 1258597

Yes that is possible. Comment out that specific line and it will get ignored and your boot won't be affected at all (you won't notice any difference except for no more error message).

If you search for my comment on Launchpad, I copy/pasted my file after I edited it. And I've been using it like that for months since, so grub* package updates didn't overwrite my changes either interestingly enough....
