Humm. Well, if the /proc directory is missing, then you either don't have /proc file system support enabled in the kernel or it simply isn't mounted. If /proc/sys/dev is missing, then you are missing sysctl support in the kernel. If you have that, but are missing /proc/sys/dev/sensors, then you are missing i2c /proc system support. If there isn't anything in /proc/sys/dev/sensors/ then you don't have any i2c/lm_sensors chip modules installed which have found supported hardware (in which you will need the appropriate bus drivers as well).
