I also had a similar problem, but slightly different.  The entire
system folder was missing from my hard disk, but the machine still
booted.  At least I knew the files were still around, just not linked
into any directory.  I bought Norton Utilities for the Mac and used
the disk doctor, and voila, everything was back.

(I have a IIsi, and the only problem with Norton Utilities is that the
system file that they provide is not compatible with my Mac hardware.
I had to create a new system disk to place the "emergency" copy of
Norton on.)
