>Description:
When there are NFS mounts in /etc/fstab and the network the NFS server
resides on is unreachable at boot time (but may become reachable at
a later point, for example, when starting ppp), the boot sequence
completely stops at 'Mounting NFS filesystems'. It did still sit
there after an hour, with some error messages from RPC:
'RPC: unable to send.'
This is not particularly good in some circumstances where the box is not
attended and rebooted remotely.
>How-To-Repeat:
Add an NFS share to fstab on a non-reachable network.
>Fix:
Not known, haven't thought about it :)

State-Changed-Why:  

Not a bug. The default for NFS mounts is to wait forever if the 
server isn't responding, but for any non-critical filesystems, you 
can add ",-b" to the options field in /etc/fstab. The man page for 
mount_nfs has further details.
