Change blocksize to 512

1024 bytes was originally chosen as fitting nicely inside an ethernet
frame. That didn't really make much sense, but the issue was masked by
the kernel actually ignoring block sizes due to a bug.

Now that the kernel bug is fixed, the result is that partitions are
parsed incorrectly, resulting in confusing behaviour.

Fix by defaulting to 512. For the rare case where 1024 bytes still makes
sense, the -b parameter still exists.
