Lovely.  Sounds like the initrd got screwed up.

Boot off the rescue floppy (you DID build one, didn't you?) and run an
fsck against the root partition of the hard drive.

If you didn't make a rescue floppy, then you'll need to boot another
version of RHEL in rescue mode and run the fsck from there.

Also, AS2.1 is REALLY, REALLY ancient.  It's not supported any longer
and hasn't been for at least three years.  Why haven't you upgraded to
RHEL3 or RHEL4 or their free counterparts, CentOS?
