Technically, the primary GPT header occupies sectors 1..33 of
your disk.  The 0'th sector is the so-called protective MBR.
That means you can start the BIOS boot partition at sector 34,
aka "34s".  With parted, that "34s" notation works regardless
of whether you're using a drive with 512-byte sectors (most common)
or a newer one with 4k-byte sectors.

Huh? Why would the size change for a 4kb disk? The entries are still the same size, and you still make a table with 128 entries, don't you? So it should be the same size.
