Details:

So basically they're not supported under latest grub.

I'm talking about real 4096 drives, where physical and logical sector sizes
are 4096.

See attached screenshot. Partition start and total sizes are plain wrong
unless you divide them by 8.

4096 / 512 = 8

Real FS begins at 6MiB and is 294 MiB in size.

So, let's get this fixed promptly. Such drives are now starting to flood the
market.
