What is the content of your /etc/fstab and /etc/network/interfaces?
The current system try to mount the NFS mounts after all the 'auto'
interfaces are up during boot.

This is about having / on NFS.  It does not work without changes to
the boot system at the moment, because ifup does not do its normal
things when the IP setup is done by the kernel before ifupdown is
executed.  Not sure if it is related to your problem.  Your fstab will
tell, I guess. :)

Happy hacking,
