Most likely the filesystem got confused by the sudden reboot.

Get your starter system out (IPL from the CD or from tape), define a
network connection to get to the system. Then load the dasd drivers
and try mounting the disks where you want them.
Our experiences with fsck against a ReiserFS file system are not very
good, and if you go that route you probably need to double check
whether the system is still what you want. Your options also depend on
which of the disks are corrupted.
