My current configuration:
fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 447.1 GiB, 480103981056 bytes, 937703088 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x021589e5

Device    Boot     Start       End    Blocks  Id System
/dev/sda1 *         2048    155647     76800  83 Linux
/dev/sda2         155648   4349951   2097152  82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3        4349952 937703087 466676568  83 Linux

Does the sda1 has to start with "1" or 2048?
