Under 8.2-PRERELEASE (GENERIC kernel), about 15% of the times I boot up

Feb 4 07:31:11 wonderland root: /etc/rc: WARNING: failed to start statd
and slightly later:
Feb 4 07:31:36 wonderland kernel: NLM: unexpected error contacting NSM,
stat=5, errno=35
I can start rpc.statd and rpc.lockd manually at this point (and I have to
start them to run firefox and mail with my NFS-mounted home directory and
mail spool). But what might cause the above errors? -- George Mitchell

Don't rpc.statd and lockd try to choose a random port upon startup?
Yes, by default.
I
seem to remember a similar problem I had a long time ago. I opted to
use a consistent, not-used port and haven't seen the problem since
(this was years ago, so I can't remember if the error you're seeing
was identical to mine).
/etc/rc.conf:
rpc_statd_flags="-p 898"
rpc_lockd_flags="-p 4045"
I have:
rpc_statd_flags="-p 918"
rpc_lockd_flags="-p 868"
Still statd occasionally fails to start.
It might be that something else has already bound to port 918, though I
don't know what.
I'll check as soon as I have the chance.
Locking down the port numbers as you showed is the best choice, plus
allows for proper firewall rules to be added. However, be aware not all
daemons support this. Reliable firewall rules for NFS = good luck.
Since I put the above in rc.conf, I've had more problems with NFS and ipfw.
I also vaguely remember some daemons having hooks to open ipfw ports
dinamically.
