Default cannot control a20 lines

I recently broke up my dual boot system and created another system as a
windows 98 computer. The drive I installed is 20gb and on initialisation I
get the error cannot control a20 lines. Now, I have subsequently found out
that I need to modify the config.sys file to over come this problem, but have
to first boot up to a dos environment, edit config.sys and then run setup
from the win98 cd, My question, HOW DO I DO THIS DIRECTLY FROM THE CD, AS IT
ALWAYS SAYS HIMEM.SYS IS NOT LOADED???????????????????????
