Init scripts missing . . .

Init scripts missing . . .
One of our VM machines mysteriously went read-only overnight and as it wasn't being used, thought it would be a good idea to reboot the machine and run fsck on boot, well. . . .. things didn't quite work out that way lol 
Anyway, the machine booted up, but mysteriously had no hostname set, thought I would check why and the '/etc/host' file is missing, checked further and it turns out that the 'init.d' folder and ALL the init scripts are missing too, as is 'xinet.d', and probably a host of other files from '/etc'.
Although we have backups, I need to try and get the machine back onto the network so I can copy the files back over . . . . . . question is, is there any way that I can start the network back up without the init scripts ?
Tried the usuals, ifup etc all to no avail - any of you brilliant minds out there any ideas !?
Cheers, Jim
