I read the manpage for you:

        ... It can also display the size in sec-
        tors  and cylinders (see the change units command below).  If  
an aster-
        isk (*) appears after the size, this means that the   
partition  is  not
        aligned on cylinder boundaries.

On most pagers you can search for "asterisk" by pressing the forward- 
slash ("/") key and typing "asterisk".
