That depends on your distribution. You should have a file called rc.local, 
probably in /etc but maybe someplace else (find it with 'locate 
rc.local'). That's the correct file to place that line in.

You need a file called .lircrc in your home directory. Read
http://mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/control.html
on what to put into that file.

I don't think this is necessary.

Do you have a /etc/lircd.conf with the correct information for your 
remote? If not you will have to either find one or create it yourself 
using irrecord.
