Here's the beginning of my CONFIG.SYS file. I don't do anything
too complicated:

;MEMORY MANAGEMENT:
device = c:\bootup\UMBPCI.SYS
device = c:\bootup\XMGR.SYS /W

;CD/DVD DRIVES:
devicehigh = c:\bootup\UIDEJR.SYS /D:CDROM001
install = c:\bootup\SHCDX33E.COM /D:CDROM001 /~ /V

Of course, substitute "c:\bootup\" with the path where your
drivers are located.

I don't really require caching, so i use UIDEJR just for a CD/DVD
driver. The most important thing here is to make sure the "/D:"
parameter matches *exactly* between the driver (UIDE) and
redirector (SHCDX) lines. (The "CDROM001" name is just what i
use -- you can use whatever legal name you want.)

I use UBMPCI to get upper memory blocks (UMBs), because i don't
want to be in virtual mode (like with EMM386).

The lines beginning with ";" are comments (descriptive only).
