Yes, you will be prompted for a password.  However, you can't use the C 
key to attempt to boot off the CD.  You also can't use the T key to 
enter FireWire Target Disk Mode; you have to turn off the firmware 
password first.  What you must do to boot to another disk is hold down 
the option key while booting; this will bring up the startup manager 
(first a password dialog box if you have the password enabled), which 
will let you choose a different startup disk than what was selected in 
the OS.

As best I know, UFS will stay where it is; it's really enabled only for 
compatibility with certain Unix applications and Unix development, and 
will probably always be incompatible with certain things.  OS 10.1 
fixed a few UFS problems (like Airport and Classic not working).
