I can't help on all of your questions, but here goes on two of them:

Look in the rc.d directory -- one of the rc.* files rewrites /etc/motd.
Grep for "Welcome" and then go in and comment out the line.

You should be able to mount floppies on /dev/fd0 or /dev/fd1. If they
are MS-DOS floppies use mount -t msdos.  The error messages from mount
are sometimes misleading, more often than not any error message from
mount means you have used no -t parameter where one is needed, or an
incorrect one.
