Summary

The loader strategy() function is assuming 512B blocks, so we need to adjust
ptblread() for other sector sizes.

Test Plan

use lsdev -v from loader OK prompt to confirm the partition table.

Event Timeline

I will test this on my macbookpro NVMe where FreeBSD currently cannot read the partition table.

This looks good to me.... It will certainly be a NOP for 512 byte sectors.
