Edit your /etc/fstab to include your DOS partition.  Assuming your DOS parti-

/dev/hda1 /dosc msdos noexec 0 0

(noexec makes sense for security reasons.)

Linux supports most SCSI and proprietary CD-ROMS.  What's the manufacturer?

You can mount your floppy anywhere you wish, providing the mount point exists.

Yes.
