How do I align for 4k sector drives?

[athlon1.2]

Ok so I have a RAID-1 array of 4k sector drives. How do I align the partitions? I understand the partitions should lie on 512kb sector x 8 boundaries but when I go to partition the drive I get is cylinders. I can not figure out what is the right way to convert cylinders to sectors. The default proposal is to create a partition starting on Cylinder 1 and ending on Cylinder 182362. I need to create multiple partitions...

Just build it and use gparted to realign it when you're done.

Run fdisk from the command line. It defaults to sectors and even will default to a 2048 offset (1MiB) when you create the first partition.
