Subject:   Could gpart align MBR primary partiton at 4K?

Hello, Freebsd-geom.

 I'm trying to format external Extended Format drive to FAT32 under
 FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE

 I've created MBR scheme, but when I try to create primary partition
 I get:

> sudo gpart add -t fat32 -a 4k da0
da0s1 added, but partition is not aligned on 4096 bytes
>

 Why?

 According to "Using Advanced disks for old OSes like WinCP" guides it
is possible to 4K-align MBR partition, but all these guides are
windows-centric...
