Comments:

  ';' and 'REM' provide the ability to place comments within the
  configuration file. The text following the ';' or 'REM' until the end
  of the line is reached is ignored. This may also be used to temporarily
  disable loading a particular device or other option.
  ';' is a command internal to kernel.sys and needs no other file
  in order to work.
