I think your machine is a NIS client for an NIS server (or used to be). So one way to overcome this is to login in maintenance mode and correct the /var/yp/binding/<domain_name>/ypservers file by adding your NIS server name. Here is the link for more info on troubleshooting:

That's why you have to go to maintenance mode to get a command prompt!
In your case the NIS service is started from the /etc/inittab which won't be the case if you are in maintenance mode.
That's how you start in Maintenance Mode:
And that's how the maintenance mode proceed:
