The MBR standard specifies alignment to cylinders. gpart complies with that. It's like -a always goes to 63. Other operating systems are not as strict, which at this point makes it easier for their users. As far as I know, the only way to align MBR partitions on FreeBSD is by entering manual values to fdisk(8).
