I do think that it would be better if failure to mount an NFS share due

filesystem NFS mounts are rarely so critical that is it necessary to drop
into single user mode instead - especially as these days many machines do
not have a console continuously attached. It would be better just to retry
mounting NFS in the background.
If having DHCP up before proceeding is mission critical, set the
synchronous_dhclient option in rc.conf. If you are satisfied with having
the nfs mounts continue in the background, use that option in fstab.
In the absence of those 2 clear indications from the admin as to what
should happen, the current behavior is the right choice.
