Using 0 as a fixed starting sector causes an error:

>>> Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x9b4a9cf7.
/dev/loop1p1: Start sector 0 out of range.
Failed to add #1 partition: Numerical result out of range
Leaving.

Fix it by letting sfdisk pick the first available sector instead of
using a fixed value.
