Just put REM on line device=himem.sys in your config.sys.
eg

REM device=himem.sys

If you have pre 5 DOS then you will get a warning about it but just
do not care about it. After done with stacker remove REM and give it boot.

You could also put REM on line device=smartdrv.sys in your config.sys or
smartdrv.exe in autoexec.bat. Depending what version you are using.

Most straightforward would be REMarking himem.sys.
