--- Comment #11 from Allan Jude <allanjude@FreeBSD.org> ---
I have created a patch to align to 4k for the boot partition (not really
necessary) and 1mb for the swap/zfs partitions.

I am slightly concerned about aligning MBR to 4k, because of the way the
bootloader is stuffed into the partition. Aligning the partitions caused the
machine to not boot correctly, however aligning the BSD partition table inside
the MBR first, seems to work.


The patch is currently awaiting review: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D3062
