Clearly it has booted to the initrd and given you a shell prompt rather than doing what it should. Probably it should be running that linuxrc script (or binary), which should be loading the dasd driver kernel modules, mounting the real root filesystem, and pivoting to that. Details depend on the particular distro and version you are running though. Could be a problem with the kernel parameters; for example having "init=/bin/sh" might give you this effect.
