You can pause an AUTOEXEC.BAT file by inserting a PAUSE command,
but there is no equivalent command for CONFIG.SYS. Good news! You can make one with the following
DEBUG script, which creates a small device driver named PAUSE.SYS that pauses for a key press when
it is loaded with PUASE.sys that pauses for a key press when it is loaded with a DEVICE = statement in
CONFIG.SYS, start by typing the following lines into a text file called PAUSE.SCR:
Please view the following script in source

Compile the script to create PAUSE.SYS. To use PAUSE.SYS, add the command
DEVICE=C:\DRIVERS\PAUSE.SYS
at the point in CONFIG.SYSY where you wnat to pause processing.
If PAUSE.SYS is stored somewhere other than C:\DRIVERS,
modify the path accordingly.
