The debian startup scripts try to mount the remote filesystems before
starting the portmapper.
I solved this one by removing the 'mount -a -t nfs' in /etc/init.d/boot
and placing it after rpc.portmap is started in /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs
I assume this is because mount is starting up rpc.lockd as the 'nolock'
option hasn't been used.
Hope this helps (and hope Debian get the scripts sorted before 2.2 is
released),
Adrian.
