Anyone know how to convert a path into a 'const UInt8 *path'?

...I need to make FSRef from an NSOpenPanel path and I was thinking to use
'FSPathMakeRef' but it takes a 'const UInt8 *path'. ???

If you have an NSString called "path" with a POSIX path, then all you need to do is call [path fileSystemRepresentation] to get a value that is suitable to pass to FSPathMakeRef(). I've been told not to use [path UTF8String], although at this time they appear to do the same thing.

A "UInt8" is an unsigned 8-bit value, which according to MacTypes.h (you did search the headers, didn't you?) is typedef'd to "unsigned char".
