/dev/dsp is the digital signal processor == a sound device. I'm betting
you dont have a soundcard, either that or linux emu doesnt deal with
BSD device access to well. Either way, delete sndserver (or move it
somewhere other than the current directory) to get Doom without sound.
I forget for sure, but -nosound might work.
