On FC2 I see:
$ ls -l /sbin/nash
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 37476 May 6 18:50 /sbin/nash
$ file /sbin/nash
/sbin/nash: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
$ rpm -q --whatprovides /sbin/nash
mkinitrd-3.5.22-1
$
Note that FC2 nash is not a link.
You should be able to reinstall nash with rpm.
A surgeon might do the rpm -r or rpm2cpio set of tricks.
$ rpm -q --list mkinitrd
/sbin/grubby
/sbin/installkernel
/sbin/mkinitrd
/sbin/nash
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg
/usr/share/man/man8/grubby.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/mkinitrd.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/nash.8.gz
