You get this mode of operation when your IOS upgrade has failed, you need to get a vaild IOS on the router.

Check these other issues in addition to the software.
A router going into ROMmon or boot mode could be caused by one of the following :

The configuration register (config-reg) is set like that
The dynamic RAM (DRAM) is bad
The router crashed and does not recover
The Cisco IOS® Software image is corrupted or not present

It is True that a failed Software upgrade is the most common cause of a router going into ROMmon or boot mode. Route once; switch many

did you change the register back to normal boot;

0x2102

This was the problem because a new IOS fixed it.

The Cisco IOS® Software image is corrupted or not present
