You can address this by marking the NFS mount with the 'bootwait' option
in /etc/fstab.

Title:
  nfs not mounted during boot

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I mount my home directory via NFS from a server.  I boot directly into
  my account, so no login is necessary.  But then, my home directory is
  not yet mounted.  However, if I switch from DHCP to static IP, it is
  mounted properly.  Thus, network is setup too late in the boot
  process, so that NFS fails.

  Client: Ubuntu 12.04

  Line in /etc/fstab:
  192.168.178.24:/home/bronger /home/bronger nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr   0   0

  Excerpt of *working*/etc/network/interfaces:
  iface eth0 inet static
      address 192.168.178.20
      netmask 255.255.255.0
      gateway 192.168.178.1

  Excerpt of *non-working* /etc/network/interfaces:
  iface eth0 inet dhcp

  
  Server: Ubuntu 10.04
