FreeDOS kernel handles config.sys lines starting with an exclamation mark !.

If a config.sys line contains ! as first character, then this line can not be skipped by single-stepping.

I may be stating the obvious, but this seems to be some FreeDOS-ism. MS-DOS does not understand "!" in CONFIG.SYS (checked on MS-DOS 6.22)
