Access the BIOS via MS-DOS

Question

Hello,

I have a friend who tells me that we can access the BIOS with MS-DOS and that he has already done it, but he doesn't remember the commands. Does anyone know this command? Thank you in advance.

PS: I don’t know which forum to post this in.
Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 8.0

To access the BIOS, you must press the designated key during the startup of the PC "Press X to enter setup" or something like that (sometimes delete, F8, F12)
it varies
your friend confuses MS-DOS and black and white writing

No, he's telling me that he already did it via MS-DOS and that he saw this process in a book. Yes, I know how to access it from the startup.

There aren’t many people left who still use a machine with an MS-DOS operating system; it belongs in a museum!!!

Generally about MS-DOS:

Crtl+Alt+Del to restart the boot and
Del to access the BIOS

But maybe you’re confusing it with the command line of Windows 7 or with a MS-DOS emulation window under Windows

Flashing the BIOS is done using a DOS floppy disk, that's true. https://www.commentcamarche.net/contents/1018-flasher-le-bios

Actually, my friend needs this command but he is not at home and asks me to find this command for him. He told me he saw it in a book he already used, and in this command, there is a series of 12 letters and numbers, but I don't know more. No, I think it's a PC with Windows (XP or something else; I texted him, but he hasn't responded yet), and actually, it doesn’t boot up except in MS-DOS mode, and he is trying to access the BIOS, or the startup is too fast for him to see which key to press. I don't know; he hasn't replied to me.
