Deleted symlink to /etc and now missing sudoers

  1. Boot to Recovery Mode (cmd-R)
  2. Open Terminal from the menubar Utilities > Terminal
  3. Soft-link /private/etc to /etc on your main Volume:

    ln -s private/etc /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/etc 
    

    Replace Macintosh\ HD with the name of your main volume (if your forgot it, just enter df or ls /Volumes/ and check for its name! Don't forget to escape blanks with a backslash.)
