According to freebsd, it is 2867200, which should be wrong. So, any ideas on how this happened? Can anybody build an install-image, write it to a flash drive and double check the disklabel? I did not change any values, everything was set to default.
 
 Also, https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/distrib/common/bootimage/Makefile.bootimage#349 suggests that the last sector has the MBR. Any chances of it being the cause of all this?
