you could get and install initscripts-*
The OP might need a bit more instructions here on how to do this when
his
machine only boots to runlevel 0. With / read-only, it will be hard to
install anything.
I'd suggest checking the disk and the filesystem using the rescue CD,
and
maybe reinstalling the OS, but what do I know.
IMO, you know a lot, Tony. I've been impressed with the quality of your
posts.
I'd try a rescue disc (like Knoppix, e.g.) and see if I couldn't
mount that and restore /etc from a backup.

As Tony said, you should fsck your harddrive(s) to check for errors, and
if no errors found
you, should better try the FC3 rescue disc or the CD1/DVD of FC3, and
mount it read/write.
Then download the initscripts RPM for fc3 and move it to /mnt/sysimage
(where your actually
linux will be) and chroot /mnt/sysimage. Installing it (i think will
need to be force(
rpm -ivh initscripts-* --force --nodeps ...
hope that helps you
