It appears your image, or at least the image your boot variable references, is not present.
Can you please try verifying the image location ("dir" without specifying "flash" location) and then, if you find an image locally, try to boot while specifying a valid image that is verified to be on the switch.
If "flash:" is indeed your only storage location and it is empty, you will need to copy an image onto it in order to boot the switch past rommon. I believe tftp (via Ethernet) or xmodem (via console) are the only supported methods for file transfer from rommon.

Yeah Leo - xmodem in 2013. Hurts just to think about it.
I've not checked - wonder if the transfer speed is helped with the new USB console ports on the 2960S?

When you're dealing with the 3560E/X, 3750E/X, 2960S and the new 3850, xmodel transfer of IOS is "old school".
There's a faster way: USB flash drive.
I have numerous successful experience with this and I have yet to see this fail on me.

NOTE TO EVERYONE: This is a duplicate post.

t sounds like you have AAA in your configuration. If the switch has connectivity to your AAA server, check the config and the AAA server config. If it does not have connectivity, you'll have to wait for the AAA timeout before it allows local authorization (assuming that is also configured correctly). If not, you'll need to add local authorization after AAA fails.
Hope that helps.
