OK I was trying to load a new IOS ver for my 2621 because I needed it to support ATM module. Anyway It needed more space to copy it from tftp so i did an erase nvram, startup. I only did this because I thought the img would come over. There was still not enough room and it reloaded now I can only get the rommon prompt!!
I need to get this img loaded on there asap. Any ideas how to do this.

You can use the following commands to load an image from a tftp server using rommon....substituting the proper ip addresses and filename... But, this won't help if you don't have enough MB's of flash to load the image on...

IP_ADDRESS=192.168.1.240
IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0
DEFAULT_GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
TFTP_SERVER=192.168.1.103
TFTP_FILE=c2600-i-mz.122-5.bin
tftpdnld
 
Couple of questions? How do I know the IP address of the router (it was reloaded and went straight into rommon mode)
when i hit tftpdnld it gives me all the variables i should put in but as examples doesnlt let me enter anything. I have also tried xmodem -r but it just waits for a file and times out

You won't know the ip address of the router, it shouldnt' have one since you erased nvram and startup... you assign it one (one that is available on your network), such at 192.168.1.240 in the example I gave you. If I remember correctly , once you put those commands in in order, after you type tftpdnld, then it should be ready to start downloading, probably ask if you are sure you want to continue or something like that. Make sure you have a cable to the router ethernet port and that link is up...
