create single partition for 3.5 TB

[Fred Skrotzki]

what you are attempting to do can't be done once you exceed the 2 tb
park.  Please search the archives for further information.  once you
create a partition exceeding 1.9999tb you can't use fdisk and a msdos
label (Which is what is needed to boot) you need to use GPT.
