(s)fdisk fails to partition 3TB disk

Using alpine-mini-3.1.2-x86_64.iso from a usb stick alpine-setup stops with sfdisk complaining about disk size

WARNING: Erase the above disk(s) and continue? [y/N]: y
Initializing partitions on /dev/sda…
fdisk: device has more than 2^32 sectors, can’t use all of them
sfdisk: Checking that no-one is using this diks right now …
sfdiks: OK
sfdisk: Warning: partition 3 has size 3.0 TB (2996359397376 bytes),
which is larger than the 2199023255040 bytes limit imposed
by the DOS partition table for 512-byte sectors
sfdisk: Id on’t like these partiitions - nothing changed.
(if you really want this, use the —force option.)
