Nfs-root timeouts and lockd_up errors

I have a diskless machine with nfs-root enabled. I works well, but
during bootup (at mount -a) it hangs for a long time, and gives
'portmap: server localhost not responding' several times. Of course it
is not responding, it is not supposed to run. It also complains
'lockd_up: no pid, 2 users??' etc. (See below.)

If this is not a kernel problem but with something else in the
bootsequence, please tell me and I will not bother you any more.

Also strange is that the kernel sends BOOTP requests, when the
information is already in the commandline nfsaddr option.

% cat /proc/cmdline
auto rw root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/home/net/nodd nfsaddrs=192.71.13.73:192.71.13.221:192.71.13.10:255.255.255.0:nodd.irf.se
