When booted to OS X Recovery the root of the Macintosh HD is not /, it's /Volumes/Macintosh HD/.

If I understand correctly, cd OS\ X\ Base\ System takes you back to /? I suggest you follow @patrix's suggestion of mounting the main disk through Disk Utility. If you need to use the command line, diskutil mount /dev/disk0s2 (assuming disk0s2 is your main partition).

Are there other folders listed in /Volumes? Otherwise you may need to run Disk Utility first (it's in one of the menus) and mount the main drive there.

By "takes you back to the start", which path is this? I am assuming / because you begin with Volumes as a relative path.
