	Bill, you're problem is most likely with your Sound Blaster,
	if you have one.  Otherwise, it's with your memory configura-
	tion.  Magic Carpet doesn't give you errors, it just bombs
	your system (real nice of them).

	Try freeing up as much memory and starting without the sound
	blaster and see if it works.  Hope this helps.

Daniel.
