parted-3.2 has still the same problems (well, if nobody fixed them):

Legacy MBR:
    MBR Signature     = aa55
    Unique Signature  = 00000000

    Partition 1:
        Boot Indicator    : non-bootable
        Starting Cylinder =          0
        Starting Head     =          1
        Starting Sector   =          0
        System ID         =       0xee
        Ending Cylinder   =       1023
        Ending Head       =         63
        Ending Sector     =        254
        Relative Sectors  =          1
        Total Sectors     =        999
---
There is still the Problem that starting C/H/S is 0/1/0 which does not match
"Relative Sectors", just as Ending C/H/S does not match Relative Sectors +
Total Sectors
