I don't get what you're saying. You want to update your computer's BIOS from the startup disk? As the RAM disk's letter is assigned after your last partition's letter, or as C: if you don't have any partitions defined. I've never seen it assigned as A:.

To get a "B:" drive you'll need to have two floppy drives installed in the computer, and insert the boot floppy in the second one.

Yes, you can.

You can use grub4dos to "exchange" floppies.

Example (to be TESTED):

title Flip floppies and boot from B:
map --mem (fd0)/Floppy.img.gz (fd1)
map (fd0) (fd1)
map (fd1) (fd0)
map --hook
root (fd0)
chainloader /IO.SYS

or something like that.
