Answer 1

TTBOMK you don't. A Mac isn't a PC!

Macs have something called Open Firmware instead.
One of the key sequences to reach it is,

CMD-OPT-O-F

which when used during the power on sequence
should take you to a DOS style command prompt.

Link below should help as a jump off point...

Answer 2

Hello carl w,

Here's what I got according to David Pogue's book, "Mac OS X, The Missing Manual",

"You'll never have to update or even think about the ROM of your Macintosh (the approximate equivalent of the BIOS on the PC). It's permanent and unchanging. The very similar firmware of your Macintosh does occasionally have to be updated in order to work with a new version of the Mac Operating System or some dramatic new feature--once every four years, perhaps. You'll be notified on the screen when the time comes."

I can't speak for Mac OS 9.x, but I suspect it might be somewhat the same. Best of luck in your search.
