Yes, it is necessary. Rebuild the system databases, start SQL, restore the backups of the system DBs.Could this possibly work:
>> Restore the Master database to another SQL Instance
>> Replace with mdf and ldf of the corrupted master with a copy of the restored master files
I have previously restored the master as a user database and detached it, renamed the disk files back and then plugged them into the corrupted instance
