If you don't even have a boot image on the router, and you're stuck at 
romon>, I think you're only options are:

1) copy image to flash in another router and move the flash into the 
troubled router...easy on a 3600, 7200, or 7500 where you have PCMCIA 
flash slots...not so easy on the ones that only use flash simms.

2) use xmodem to upload IOS via the console port.  Search cisco.com for 
instructions for increasing the port speed, or take your time at 
9600bps.
