Create new primary partition for boot and another one for LVM with the rest of the card
mkpart primary fat16 4Mib 132Mib set 1 boot on name 1 boot mkpart primary 132Mib -1 set 2 lvm on name 2 lvm print quit
The partitions should look like this
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 4.00MiB 132MiB 128MiB fat16 boot boot, esp 2 132MiB 122622MiB 122490MiB lvm lvm
