 ga> - I can mount my dos partition under linux (mount -t msdos etc) but
 ga> how do I make this an automatic process during boot.

Make an entry in /etc/fstab for the DOS drives.  The existing entries
should give you a clue as to how to do this.

 ga> - I have a CD-ROM that apparently doesn't work with any linux driver.
 ga> All autodetects fail, and I've tried ALL the common drivers.  Any
 ga> suggestions?

If there's no support, even after re-compiling your kernal, you may need
to start Linux under DOS and use the MSCDEX driver (there is a way to do
this).

 ga> - How do I mount my floppy drive.  Does it HAVE to be mounted under
 ga> /mnt or can I use /floppy

You can use whatever you like AFAIK. :-)
