    I'm guessing when you moved your init script from S45 to S70, the error
    message was the same. If there was no reason that you chose 70, you could
    always move mountnfs.sh back further and see if that works. If it still
    doesn't work at S99, then you could always add a call to the shell script
    from the end of the networking script, then remove the backgrounding, if
    present. You might have to add a delay to the start of the mountnfs.sh
    script, or you could use the builtin wait function when calling the network
    startup scripts.

    Hope that helps,
    Justin Guerin
