Not necessary. Some places indeed may have some legacy requirements,
for example, in theory MBR want partition to be aligned to "track

violating it to align partition to flash sector). Same time for BSD
label I see no problem to align partitions any way we want. I also
see no problems to make FAT cluster, UFS block/fragment, etc, to
match some sizes.
From a new installation of Windows 7 and FreeBSD CURRENT:
GEOM: ada0: partition 3 does not start on a track boundary.
GEOM: ada0: partition 3 does not end on a track boundary.
GEOM: ada0: partition 2 does not start on a track boundary.
GEOM: ada0: partition 2 does not end on a track bounary.
Partition 2 is the reserved partition while 3 is an NTFS partition, both
created in the Windows setup application.
Since Windows isn't bothering to align partitions do we still need to
warn about it?
It would be great to remove this warning. I see the same problem with
partitions created by Linux, which uses the Windows'y version of CHS.
