The sfdisk in Jessie use unit Cylinder by default. To perform 1M aligning partition, 2048 sector unit is desirable instead.

aligning partition, 2048 sector unit is desirable instead.
- What I did
Use "-u S --force" option to perform flash repartitioning so that 1M aligning is achieved with start=2048 sectors. "--force" is needed otherwise old sfdisk in Jessie will complain the aligning
scheme.
- How I did it
- How to verify it
Install the image on arista 7050 then reboot the box to verify the repartitioning of flash is fine. The first partition in the table should start with 2048 sectors.
