I just found the following web page: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-4kb-sector-disks/index.html?ca=dgr-lnxw074KB-Disksdth-LX It seems like this is what I've run up against, and cfdisk without any special options didn't give me any warnings. So I'll probably have to start again and reformat my hard disk. I don't know whether fdisk would have warned me had I tried to format the disk using that instead; cfdisk is certainly problematic here.
