6.0 post-install questions

I got 6.0 installed - yay! I first tried 6.1 but got a kernel panic
before I even got to the menu.
I don't have a UPS on the P166. In the event of a power failure, how
well does UFS fare when you don't shutdown properly?
Is it possible to really uninstall a package? My Firefox install failed
(possibly something to do with Gnome), but all its dependencies were
left after the pkg_delete. I may have found them all, but this is a bit
too much like Windows where applications are often never really gone.
Since the Mozilla Suite is dying and I can't install Firefox, is lynx
my only browser choice now?
Other packages also failed to install with pkg_add -r. These include
tinyfugue, playmidi, and amanda-client. At least with the first,
installing from source is pretty easy. As for playmidi, I downloaded
its package manually, but pkg_add still rejected the file. (I did a
gzip -t and it was ok.) So what can I do about these recalcitrant
packages?
I have a USB to serial adapter. In Linux it's /dev/ttyUSB0. What would
it be called in FreeBSD?
