I had the same problem. I found it was due to named starting after the
mount was attempted and so it couldn't resolve the name of the nfs server.
I changed the fstab to the ip address instead and it worked fine. An
example from my fstab:
192.168.1.10:/usr/src /usr/src nfs rw,soft,intr,nfsv3,tcp 0
0
Give that a go.
Regards, Matt.
