I am using Craft only for the blog section of my site. The rest is HTML.
How do I make my site's 404 page come up for errors in the Craft-blog section?
Do I use the errorTemplatePrefix?
Where does that go?
What to I put in there if Craft is above root and my page is mydomain.com/404.html
If your current 404 page is a static HTML page, I think the simplest solution would be to just copy your existing 404 HTML page into the craft/templates folder. Craft will display an HTML page just as easily as Twig code. Just make sure the file is named 404.html in your craft/templates folder.
If you make a change to the 404 page later, you would have to change it in two places, but that's really the only downside I can think of.
http://buildwithcraft.com/misspelled-docz/ and receive the 404 error and 404 page content back from the server. But the URL doesn't change to /404.html. It's stays the same as the requested URL. That's how an Apache server would deal with the error too.

Can't think of a native way to do this — a few options come to mind, none of which are ideal.
redirect to your site's 404 page from your 404 template (i.e. redirect 'craft/templates/404.html' to 'mydomain.com/404.html'). So in your 404 template you would have:
{% redirect '/404.html' %}
Reaching here, but you could also possibly include your 404 page in an iframe in your 404 template.
