Better if you follow these steps:

The best check-test you can do (if you had physical access to the 
machine) is running a "ping -c 100 some-host" command and unplugging one 
of the network cables and then the other(s). The ping command should go on.

As per the empty "/boot", that's odd. Try with "locate vmlinuz" :-?
