You probably want to reinstall kernel26 and grub.  There may be more but I can't think of anything else in there of the top of my head.

Edit: the filesystem package creates the /boot directory.

You only need the initrd at boot time and the kernel is loaded into memory already if you're running your Arch install right now. Just reinstall the kernel package with pacman, the kernel itself will be placed in /boot again and the initrd will be regenerated.

Edit: Blargh, too late roll
