Partition 2 is the reserved partition while 3 is an NTFS partition, both
created in the Windows setup application.
Since Windows isn't bothering to align partitions do we still need to
warn about it?
It would be great to remove this warning. I see the same problem with
partitions created by Linux, which uses the Windows'y version of CHS.
GEOM_PART spews warnings like this (IIRC the same ones) for partitions
created by FreeBSD when FreeBSD actually knew the correct (fictitious
BIOS) geometry. Killing GEOM_PART stopped them. Note that GEOM_PART is
inflicted by conf/DEFAULTS, at least for i386.

GEOM_PART also gave weirdness for FreeBSD partitions, with multiple device
entries for some partitions and other aliasing bugs.
