I've had lots of timing issues with NFS (on Debian).  I finally gave up 
and brute-forced it:

$ cat /etc/rc.local    # < DEBIAN!
[...]
# Ugly hack-around for NFS "hang on boot" problem until I upgrade
sleep 120
/etc/init.d/rpcbind start && /etc/init.d/nfs-common start && 
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start
[...]

Until I did the above my Debian Squeeze (yeah, I know, upgrading that 
Real Soon Now) would hang for 20-30 MINUTES on a reboot.

Ugly hack that shouldn't be needed, but...maybe...

Later,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
