I've had the same problem recently. It turned out that I had
configured the resolver (/etc/resolv.conf) to use the name
server on this same host for name lookups. At boot time, the
NFS-mount is attempted before the name server is running.
So, there are two ways to resolve the problem (pun intended);
1) use another name server that is available at boot time, or
2) move the NFS-mount to a later place in the startup process
(I put it in /etc/rc.local).
Hope this helps,
Gerhard
