I tried mount from an initramfs, while trying to boot the livecd with nfsroot. Regular mount works on Hardy, but the kernel prints warnings that it's providing a workaround for not having a lockd running. This support is no longer present in Intrepid's 2.6.27.
In Hardy, see linux-2.6.24/fs/nfs/client.c:nfs_start_lockd(): There's a workaround for failing to start lockd, and a big comment about it. ... printk(KERN_ERR "nfs: Starting lockd failed (do you have nfs-common installed?). ... Maybe this is ok if you use the right NFS mount options, like no locking, or something.
