It may be just a question of the config register. Go into enable mode and do a show version. Is the config register 0x2102? Do a show flash as well. Do you see any files?

Hello,

it looks like your only option is to upload an IOS to flash with the xmodem command.

Check this link, it explains the procedure (obviously you do need an IOS on your laptop or PC):

Installing the Router Software by Using the Console or Auxiliary Port
