CentOS - May 2010 - /etc/inittab

Help!

I hosed my system and did a restore from a backup but when I boot, I get an
error no inittab file found.

Where can I get a 5.2, 'stock' inittab file not in a rpm so I can use a
rescue disk to create this file? Or if possible, could someone please post
their's for me?

TIA
