The expert print function shows all logical partitions as having the
same start sector as the extended partition that contains them.

It's correct, although probably it seems strange at a first glance.
It dumps MBR and EBR tables, nothing else. It means that you can
see all the values as stored on the device without any calculation.
I agree that this info is not too useful. Maybe we can change this old
thing and describe the whole chain of the MBR->EBR->EBR... in more
readable and more precise way. Not sure, but I guess nobody cares
about this output backward compatibility.

So it isn't saying the partition starts at sector 2048, but rather it
is 2048 sectors from the EBR?
