I use Sun Solaris at work, and when I reboot one, I do a ping to know if
it's alive and then a rup machinename to know if I can log in.
If the Sun has not yet finished its rc.* scripts, then the answer is 'RPC
program not registred'. When rup gives the upload and not the error message,
then I know the machine is up and running.
In your case, maybe the NFS server 'server' is not in a good state (crashed
?) or you have to start /etc/rc.d/init.d/rpc_something or
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs.server ?
Hope it helps
