9193c05dda Add support for partition being aligned on non-cylinder boundaries.
Info can be specified with -A parameter.
Default is based on how the first partition is defined.
For empty disks larger than 128GB (arbitrary figure) use 1MB alignment.

Rename (with #defines) the variables use for aligning partitions to
separate them from the bios geometry.
All in advance of allowing other partition alignments (eg 2048 sectors).

fcf4b7e0c1 Remove fdisk/mbr for macppc which was blindly pulled from OpenBSD.
It just fakes MBR partition map which contains 1MB FAT16B partition
and ~1GB OpenBSD partition, and we can always create necessary
MBR partitions for OpenFirmware by the fdisk(8) command itself.
