This could be a problem for any BIOS that doesn't explicitly support a 4KB 
physical sector.

Hmm, something doesn't seem right. I don't expect LBA 2048 to be used as as the 
start sector for a first sector on a 4Kn disk because it offsets the start 8MB 
in; I think it uses LBA 6 as the first sector on 4Kn drives.

This is an old version of GRUB2, ~ 2 years old and may indicate an old version 
of parted. Aside from whether this disk can even be supported as a boot disk at 
all by the computer's firmware.
