We already make bootable BIOS and UEFI images.

`flags` doesn't contain `PageTableFlags::PRESENT`, and that's why it's failing. Adding that flag makes it work.

Thanks for the detailed write-up! I think we should require the `PRESENT` flag in `translate`. The documentation for [`translate`](https://docs.rs/x86_64/latest/x86_64/structures/paging/mapper/trait.Translate.html#tymethod.translate) says: > Return the frame that the given virtual address is...
