Need for himem etc statements in CONFIG.SYS depends on whether you boot from the 
startup floppy to DOS, or select the DOS option under Win9x.  Win9x option does provide 
the himem support.  Booting from the  floppy, it has to be in config.sys 

For the OP, create a Windows startup floppy and look in the config.sys and autoexec.bat 
files on it.  You should find the details of the statements needed for CD support.
