Ok; let me describe how this is supposed to work at boot time.

- mountall runs at startup, looks around for all the filesystems, and tries to 
mount them - including any NFS filesystems.  The network is almost certainly 
not up yet, so a "host not found" message typically results.
- once the local filesystems are all mounted, dbus and network-manager start 
up.  Since you have a wired network connection, this should immediately bring 
up your interface via DHCP; once up, network-manager tells upstart.
- upstart tells mountall that the network is up, causing mountall to 
intelligently retry all NFS mounts.
- since the network is now up, this succeeds, and the system happily continues 
booting.

Clearly something in this chain is falling apart, but I don't know why -
and this all happily works in my own NFS installation here.

I see your bug report was first filed against the beta1 version of
mountall.  Have you upgraded your system to the beta2 packages, to
verify whether the bug is still there?

Do you have the 'network-manager' package installed?

This may take a few rounds of questions to get to the bottom of the
issue you're seeing.
