I've run into this before.  Our loader and kernel are excessively
pedantic about this.

gpart create -s gpt -n <entries> ...

leads to bootblocks or loader or kernel rejecting it if it is < 128,
and some of the bootblocks reject it if it is > 128.

As things stand, the -n <entries> option is basically "make my system unusable".
