As others have said there is not comment implemented for config.sys files
in version of DOS older than 4.01. However, just putting a REM at the
beginning of the line works just fine, if you can tolerate the 
resulting error message. DOS just skips the "invalid" command and
proceeds to the next one.

I have used this method for years to have commands in my config.sys that
I sometimes want to use, so that I don't hve to REMEMBER them when those
rare occasions arise.
