CentOS - Sep 2016 - Am I crazy (parted)

I swear I've done this dozens of times: a new server, going to install
(CentOS 7, in this case), and I manually partition the disk before the
install using parted, and do
mkpart pri 0.0GB +1.0GB
Except now it appears to be saying it doesn't like the +1.0GB, I *think*
it's the plus sign.

      mark

I looked at my notes (don't trust my memory) and saw

docs/disk:parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary 1MB 512MB
docs/disk:parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary 512MB 2560MB
docs/disk:parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary 2560MB 100%
docs/gentoo:parted -s /dev/vda mkpart primary    1MB  512MB
docs/gentoo:parted -s /dev/vda mkpart primary  512MB 2560MB
docs/gentoo:parted -s /dev/vda mkpart primary 2560MB  100%

So, either an absolute value or a percentage of the remaining disk. I
never did the plus thingie then.
