Typically, /boot does not need to be anything more than 100 to 150 mb.
If it needs to be bigger than that, you have something very unusual happening.
Try fdisk without the -b option and see if it helps
Fdisk without -b gives me the following:
$ sudo fdisk 1024 /dev/sda1
Usage: fdisk [options] <disk> change partition table fdisk [options] -l [<disk>] list partition table(s)
Options: -b <size> sector size (512, 1024, 2048 or 4096) -c[=<mode>] compatible mode: 'dos' or 'nondos' (default) -h print this help text -c[=<mode>] compatible mode: 'dos' or 'nondos' (default) -L[=<when>] colorize output (auto, always or never) -t <type> force fdisk to recognize specified partition table type only -u[=<unit>] display units: 'cylinders' or 'sectors' (default) -v print program version -C <number> specify the number of cylinders -H <number> specify the number of heads -S <number> specify the number of sectors per track
For more details see fdisk(8).

When I said without the -b, I meant without the -b option and value (which in your case is 1024), so;
sudo /dev/sda1
I cant help but feel that you are facing a problem or set of problems which you should not be. Under normal conditions you should not be needing to fiddle with /boot.
What _exactly_ is your problem, or what are you trying to do ?
