cfdisk only does 512 byte alignment, if you want a DOS partition table on
a large drive, you need to use fdisk or {,q,qt}parted. cgdisk is a
completely separate tool as it works with GPT partition tables. There is
anever a choice between cfdisk and cgdisk because only one of them will
work with your partition table.
