At present, the code will proceed as follows:

- If any partition on the particular disk is to be preserved, use cylinder
  alignment.
- If align-at is set, align accordingly.
- Otherwise default to sector alignment.

Using a proper value for align-at (63*512B should do, I believe) will allow
anyone to emulate cylinder alignment.

Hope this helps,
Michael

PS.: I think I should add that to the man page...
